Meghan Trainor made headlines last year after her first single “All About That Bass” went viral.

At first, many were applauding Trainor for giving bigger girls an anthem. The praise ended just as quickly when Trainor was accused of “skinny shaming” girls by calling them “skinny bitches.”

Trainor is back in the spotlight after the music video for her newest single “Dear Future Husband” premiered March 16.

The lyrics contain a list of the things that her future husband will need to do for her.

Some include buying her flowers every anniversary, apologizing after every fight because, “Even if I was wrong/ You know I’m never wrong/ Why disagree?” and to “Open doors for me and you might get some kisses.”

What Trainor and other artists like Play-N-Skills and Chris Brown don’t realize is that people don’t exist solely for sex, looking good and doing things for others.

“Literally I Can’t” by Play-N-Skills became the subject of critique for questionable lyrics. Every woman asked to drink alcohol says, “literally I can’t.”

Once every girl refuses, the male rappers scream for them to shut up.

They praise other girls for drinking in excess, having sex with them and never speaking except to agree to more alcohol and sex.

The lyrics perpetuate rape culture and the idea that women are only good for sex.

When the women speak up and say no, they are met with anger and social rejection.

In the video, when one woman accepts drinks, she goes from an up-tight sorority girl to grinding on men and shaking her behind.

Once she accepts the rapper’s guidelines on how women should act, she is accepted into the party.

This mentality carries through to Chris Brown’s “Loyal.” Not only are women sex machines, but also they are materialistic and greedy.

Lil Wayne is featured on the track, asking why men should give women their love when all she wants in return is a purse.

Brown even becomes racist suggesting that white women are more loyal than black women.

He raps that the white woman he’s with just wants to have sex and smoke marijuana while the black woman he’s dancing with is betraying him by lying about being in a relationship.

Trainor doesn’t rag on women in “Dear Future Husband,” but the guidelines she sets up for her future husband are just as harmful and as the sexist as the songs by Play-N-Skills and Chris Brown.

In “All About That Bass,” Trainor sings about how a woman shouldn’t change for a man and that he should love her for all she is.

On the other hand in “Dear Future Husband,” she preaches just that.

In the music video, she and her date are at a carnival.

He tries the strength machine and doesn’t reach the top, leaving Trainor looking upset and with a huge “fail” stamp on his face.

Gender equality is not a one-way street. Trainor can’t preach to men telling them not to judge women on their weight and then sing about judging a man on his strength.

The same goes for Chris Brown and Play-N-Skills.

Judging a woman on her willingness for sex and then expecting the woman to be respectful and loyal don’t go hand-in-hand.

Pop singers have an audience of millions from all types of cultures, races, sexes, genders and sexual identities.

They can make a huge difference in discussions and attitudes on gender equality and sexism with lyrics and music videos if they were to switch their negative, sexist stereotypes into respectful and positive lyrics.
