Lily Allen song about modern women

I never really paid attention to the lyrics until today
Quote:Quote:
She chose "22" as a single from the album, and later declared that, lyrically, the song describes a near thirty-year-old woman realizing she's at the end of her prime. The singer commented on the song's meaning:
It's more about girls that haven't figured out what they want to do with themselves. Especially really pretty girls. They can rely on their looks to an extent: people will pay for their dinners and drinks and they don't really have to think. And then suddenly it hits them that they're not doing anything with their lives and it's too late.

You're a music/movie snob. I know it wouldn't be cool for you to listen to anything that's mainstream. It's ok hipster.

It's claimed that she had a male co-writer for the song. Anytime one see a woman doing some introspective shit, guarantee that a man is involved somewhere.

Yeah, she writes all her songs with
Greg Kurstin it appears. Although I think he's the music side of things and she does the lyrics.

Teedub, one of my guilty pleasures is this chick from your side of the pond because i know she's an attention whoring manjawed freak who clearly craves cock. Anyway, i'm positive her mate Alistair is the one who writes her shit.

^ Haha that girl is always in the Daily Mail, our newspaper of choice in the manosphere, I think she must be fucking the editor or something. EVERY time she makes a vid, it gets an article about it. I was initially put off her as I just found her vapid and nauseating, but after watching a few of the vids, I find them at least watchable.
You're right, you can tell she absolutely friend-zones all the betas in her life (like the guys in the vids she makes) whilst fucking alphas. She's the epitome of the sex and the city 'career girl'.

New Lily Allen song, everyone is saying it is a response to Robin Thicke. It's pretty catchy but filled with feminist phrases like "objectify" (don't most female pop stars objectify themselves when they're young and then criticize the industry when they're no longer desirable - I've noticed this theme), "glass ceiling", being called a "slut" for having multiple partners etc.
As expected, all the feminists are
arguing between themselves whether she's feminist enough? Whether the video misrepresents black people, is it racist? Is Lily Allen a good feminist?...etc.
I don't actually mind her, really, she always comes across alright in interviews I've seen her in and she's had a kid early so I'm not hating on her too much. Ironically, it was probably the 'shadowy white men' who told her "Hey Lily, do a song about feminism, that's so hot right now".
Ironically, she fits the stereotype perfectly, rich white girl who is in the industry due to nepotism. Plus, she still tries to look as sexually available as possible on the cover of the single! #solidarityisforwhitewomen

I actually feel sorry for Lily Allen for thinking she could impress/appease/subdue these utter freaks of nature.

I've been pretty heavily drinking tonight, and I'm probably overreacting, but a few things have got me hugely riled today. Most of it PC/Feminist/Marxist related. Tyler Durden's utopia can't come quick enough sometimes.
