Sabrina Carpenter is WEIRD

I’m not sure why we a society, only have a small group of people who denounce a few moves Sabrina Carpenter has made over her career. She constantly centers her art around men. Her fans love to run in circles about how her music is feminist when at the end of the day it is still all about male centeredness. It would be one thing if her music were actual messages about the oppression women face from men, but it isn’t. And that’s not to say there aren’t ways to have meaningful messages without it being on the nose, but we both know that it isn’t.

 She literally romanticizes misogyny and gets away with it. Not to mention her SUPER CREEPY live lyrics where she said “full grown but I look like a niña (little girl), please come put something big in my casita (small house).” She infantilizes herself to appeal to a gross subsection of men, yet will still have some women pulling at straws to defend her. Don’t forget the instance where she literally recreated stills from the movie Lolita. The actress of Dolores literally called Sabrina out herself. 

She constantly revolved much of her career and music about how small and tiny she is which directly plays into patriarchal beauty standards and expectations. Her music and publican image isn’t some feminist think piece, it is exactly what it looks like from surface level. She isn’t simply being openly sexual when a majority of her career is set around submissiveness and patriarchal standards.
