I read this before the song started and out of context thought you meant the informed consent doctors need for medical procedures etc and was thinking wtf. Still thinking wtf now that I realized the context but for different reasons.

Feminism doesn't say that you don't let men pay for you. Feminism is more just being seen as equals and how that carries on into equal pay, respecting a woman instead of just only seeing her in an objective lens, and being comfortable with having a woman as a friend. As well as not subscribing to traditional presumptions about women. Which still is part of the whole respecting women idea of feminism

[@dizzyrick7653]

Since when? You have a real idealized version of feminism in your head that doesn't jive with reality.

[@TigerTigerII]

I think the two are seperate--not that he pays for things BECAUSE he's a feminist, but that both happen to be true. Replace "a feminist" with any other desirable trait and you'll get the idea.

[@kellyhoyer8387]

Hahaha I also had to think twice about the not obsessed with her looks I definitely thought he was saying “you want a girl that’s nice, a girl that’s not” then “obsessed with her looks but is insanely hot” but he’s saying “not obsessed with her looks but is insanely hot”

[@nekuchan900]

We all want a perfect life, and partner, but we know we don't deserve it because we ourselves aren't perfect, so we can't ask that of other people. So instead of searching for someone that doesn't exist and wouldn't be with you anyways, find someone you can love, and that can love you back, despite each other's flaws

Words words words has one of the most creative and whacky music videos I've ever seen and the kid did it (I believe) when he was a teenager. Impeccable. Great lyricism and wordplay on top of that.

Romantic Comedies set a bar that is unattainably high. They taught young women about romance the way porn teaches young men about sex. Neither is real, but at least guys know it.

[@ZeroOhClock]

"at least guys know it" Literally today I saw a 41 year old man with 2 children say he knows what a vagina looks like and knows how it works better than a woman because "he watches porn".

[@abbygaby9210]

maybe what he meant with "she's real, but last week, she died" is that to be able to keep with all those expectations men and society in general have of a woman said women would collapse, mentally or physically, it's just not feasible

[@UltimateBreloom]

I think it was mostly to subvert the audience's expectations after the first verse and make it funnier. But your interpretation works as well.

[@nullakjg767]

@@UltimateBreloom yeah its just a joke lol. you think hes going right, he goes left. not a statement on how women die when they become the perfect partner.

[@tehbobb08]

What are you on about? "Men and society" ask so little of women, and the majority of mentally damaging standards are imposed by other women

[@ZeroOhClock]

@@tehbobb08 Right...I wonder why those women impose those standards on other women. They're born with it surely. When I left the womb the first thing I did was tell my Mom that she looks tired without makeup on and that she should smile more.

...did you just say that women brag about having the best vagina? because i have never, ever heard a woman say such a thing. the only comment we make about vaginas generally is that periods are bullshit, and even that's indirect considering that's more of a uterus issue.

[@Attilathepun]

I've heard some women make claims like that, but it's usually just the toxic women who say things like that.

[@adeleg4759]

Honestly sometimes Prince Charming is stuck in a tree and the “Princess” needs to go negotiate with the wolves circling and get them to move on Charming might need to accept a bite or two to make up for possible insult.

[@andrewpober]

Sweet and tough = nerds with muscles 😂

[@MultiNaruto900]

The song essentially criticizes the idea of perfection in life. It is absolutely absurd to think that somebody without any flaws whatsoever exists - the fact of reality is that *_everybody has flaws, be it physical, mental, and/or emotional._* To ignore that is to be an idealist in a realist world. Humans have a tendency to imagine that somebody perfect for them exists, but do not consider the opposite is not true. As Bo Burnham says, "Prince Charming would never settle for you", the perfect person for you is under no obligation to consider that you may be perfect to them. Quite frankly, it's a sobering concept - even if it isn't sugarcoated.

[@randyo8516]

Love your work

[@calicoathena]

It's really telling on yourself that you think the man's perspective is a realistic expectation.

[@wendycohen9038]

Thanks!

[@ilivetospiteothers9327]

Pretty sure the lyric of "She's real, but last week, she died" means that she died trying to meet those expectations. Just like how the expectations of men only exist in the women's mind is correct.

My wife thinks I'm a little nuts but we're expecting our first child (girl) and I keep telling her I don't want to let her watch Disney movies. Aside from the fact they are a shit company for many reasons that don't deserve my money, I don't want my kid thinking she can fall in love in three days with her Prince Charming. My wife and I are both in to anime so we're definitely going to be feeding her all the Miyazaki I can find. Nausicaa in the Valley of the Wind is one of my favorite anime movies and is better than anything Disney has ever put out

[@Tony-ui7tr]

I don't get it, are you expecting to have movies to educate your child for you?

[@videofun59]

disney is beautiful it teaches a lot of life lessons

[@Aggerr]

I really don't like Disney at all, so it pains me to have to defend them, but this point just doesn't make sense. "I don't want my kid thinking she can fall in love in three days with her Prince Charming" Pretty sure Frozen warns against exactly that. Besides that there's nothing inherently wrong with idealizing love, and chemistry. I think there's a bit more important things causing our current social climate of high expectations than just Disney movies. Disney may be a shit company, that doesn't deserve your money, but I'd argue Miyazaki doesn't deserve it either. He's an arrogant asshole, who emotionally abused his own son, and regularly treats his coworkers like shit. To summarize, if your kids wanna watch some Disney movies, just let them. Ghibli movies is a great choice of movies to show your kid though, respect. :)

[@adamreiland4630]

He didn't get the point of the video smh

[@calicoathena]

I'm not a fan of this song. Cause from the woman's perspective they want a man who treats them with respect and is also confident. That's not a contradiction unless you think being respectful towards women makes you insecure. But from the man's perspective he just wants a woman to use as a sex toy. These too perspectives aren't equally bad. One is objectively worse than the other.

[@calicoathena]

@@nigelthornberry3568 anyone who calls feminism a religion is someone who needs to spend a year or two off the internet. Your brain has been warped. Do you truly not hear how wild this comment sounds?

[@calicoathena]

Like what you're saying is that men doing their half of the social contract (a contract fully made up in your mind cause everyone's different with different expectations) then they deserve a woman to treat as a sex toy. Absolutely insane. And you saying all men are like this and none exist who would be decent without getting sex in return really exposes you for the incel you are.

[@yeetorbyeeted8094]

You aren't talking to anyone, but the fact that you think feminism being a religion is absurd, is in fact itself absurd.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Someone completely missed the point of this song. That’s cool. Not everyone is gonna get it.

[@Itsant33]

Also, well it is true that Disney banked the hell out of the stereotypical woman being a dam song distress who is financially dependent on and societally dependent on her husband and whose character doesn't even bother trying to expand beyond those two things at all. You can't forget about Mulan who's the only princess to really have any agency and personality. I honestly wouldn't even put Tiana Elsa Moana or any of the modern princesses or female characters with Mulan just because they really aren't respectable as characters. And even non-disney princesses such as Anastasia or that girl from FernGully part just airheaded idiots who rarely get to actually voice an opinion and it's over something completely unrelated to the plot or themselves

[@calicoathena]

I think it's really narrow-minded your reaction to the first few lines. People like that absolutely do exist. Because like you said it's stereotypically contradictory. But in real life people have layers and dimensions. They're not stereotypes. You can find all these qualities in one person.
