* IS a bit dismissive when reviewing female artists and it's something i've been noticing recently

at the end of the day it's always easier to refute misogyny accusations w/ "you're a white feminist/terf" instead of actually reading their argument, deconstructing it & finding out if there's anything you're doing for people to be making those same accusations in the first place

dua's fn: he used that same old ass "white feminist" argument when justifying why he wasn't feeling "boys will be boys" but my black ass identified with it :/ i don't think it's anyone's place to question how a woman expresses her experience with mysogyny let alone a white man

the lyrics clearly weren't the problem bc on rina's album he said he didn't like ftw when it was going on a similar route( social criticism), just not as direct. it ended up being his least favorite track on the album and of course there's also the fact that it deserved a 9

that being said, according to rateyourmusic dot com, he's given about 160+ 10/10 reviews and 7 are from female artists
