Taking issue with single ‘Back to Sleep’, Bethany points out the song “perpetuates rape culture”. And, y’know, try arguing with her, because you’d be on an especially sticky wicket when you look at the Really Bloody Obvious Evidence.
Writing on Twitter, she said:
“just let me rock, fuck you back to sleep girl, don’t say a word no, girl don’t you talk” are lyrics to the chorus of a VERY popular song

You already know how I feel about Chris Brown – but WHY/HOW are those lyrics ok? Cool, a song that perpetuates rape culture being a hit.

???????????????????????????????????????????????? x infinity at that trash/anyone who thinks its OK to sing about fucking a girl back to sleep + telling her to not say a word

This isn’t just about that idiot tho- the fact that’s a song in popular culture that some A&R person was like “this is great” saddens me

.@billboard‘s review of that song “excels as a quality addition to his catalog’s stellar collection of panty-dropping and baby-making songs”

How about this for a review: singing about fucking a girl back to sleep/telling her dont say a word is singing about rape + it’s disgusting

Last thing then I’m out- it’s an issue even if someone else was singing those lyrics. Rape culture is everywhere + it’s a BIG problem.
