Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion released a new single, 'WAP,' which stands for Wet Ass Pussy (or Women Against Patriarchy) and it's making waves. The lyrics are pulsating with sexual innuendos.
Scratch that, the horny one-liners are very in your face and the new song has been titled, "Class-A filth" in the very best ways.
On top of being a great addition to your confidence boosting-playlist, 'WAP' promotes my favorite kind of empowerment – the sexual kind.
Sex-positivity is a part of women empowerment, change my mind.
Sexual empowerment is a very individualized process as it's based on how you feel in your own sexuality. Do your sexual expressions and actions feel like a personal choice or are they based on external factors? Overall, to be sexually empowered means to be self-aware and to have authority over your decisions and your body.
In this way, sexual empowerment can include the recognition and expression of how freaking great sex is because sexual pleasure is amazing. Yes, I know, how bold of me?! I admit that sex and even sexual health is not just for making babies, it's so much more than that. If a man can say it, I can, too because all genders can enjoy their sexuality.
This is especially important for women because our society restricts female sexuality in almost every way possible. But, guess what? No one should be ashamed of sex. It's natural, fun, and desirable, and I can't wait to hear more women sing about it.
I'm thankful that these strong, sexually liberated ladies have stood up to society's unjust view that men are the only ones capable of sexual empowerment. Men can't control us! Plus, the sensual music video includes cameos from other beautiful, badass women, like Kylie Jenner, Normani, and Rosalía who also own their sexuality.
I hope that 'WAP' is only the beginning and more artists start standing up for female sexual empowerment. Women deserve to have good sex and this starts with opening up the vagina-loving conversations, empowering women in their sexual decisions, and educating partners on how to get us wet.
