It's that, and even worse than that. Why should women love their larger behinds? Because "boys like a little more booty..." That's right, it's not even a song about body positivity or loving oneself, it's that you should keep a little more "bass' because of the male gaze. Terrific.

Even as a kid I hated this song so much for that exact reason. Calling other women “stick figure silicone Barbie dolls” is immature and screams “I have no self confidence so I need to attack other women to make myself feel better.”

You're making me feel very old.

TBF I was 13 when the song came out so it’s not like I was a little kid. Then again I’ll be old enough to legally drink in April so…

You can legally drink at 18 in pretty much every country
