Snakes posed suggestively: Tick.But amazingly, instead of being seen as a clip deliberately designed to go one step further in order to grab record sales (it worked as WAP is Cardi B’s fourth No1 single in the US), it has been hailed as a feminist triumph.The reason seems to be there are no men in it, and the female stars who appear are shown mainly having fun with each other while describing their intimate areas.But while I am no prude, the fact that this is being seen as a victory for women shows how far we have wandered from what feminism set out to achieve — to give equality to women.Every woman in every single shot of this four-minute clip is sending out just one message, loud and clear, and that is: “I am here for you to **** me.”Indeed, far from being empowering, it’s hard to imagine a video that could do more to reduce women to the sum of their body parts — whether it’s decorated nipples or grinding bottoms.

Pornography is positively the last place where women are shown to be in charge. *Anthology 2 version of the song. But it’s infuriating nonetheless.Not just because of the catchiness of the tune, but because it’s all about ownership of pleasure, with Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion telling the world exactly what they expect from their lovers.
