Well, well, well, folks! Pop star Katy Perry has once again proven that the liberal agenda doesn’t always hit the mark. Her latest single “Woman’s World” from her forthcoming album “143” has been met with widespread ridicule and backlash, making it clear that her attempt at a feminist anthem has spectacularly backfired. Let’s delve into this mess.
Despite being 39 years old, Perry seems to have missed the memo on what truly empowers women. The music video for “Woman’s World” sees her parading around in scanty attire while chanting, “It’s a woman’s world, and you’re lucky to be living in it.” The absurdity continues as she gets flattened by an anvil, reinflates and prances through chaotic streets before taking off in a helicopter clutching the female gender symbol. Empowering? Hardly.
YouTubers didn’t hesitate to voice their opinions, with one stating: “This is what a feminist video clip would look like if made by a guy.” Another fan labelled it a “parody of girl boss feminism.” Users on X were equally critical, branding the single as “very cringe” and “stuck in the early 2010s and not in a good way.” Talk about a fail!
Feeling the pressure of the backlash, Perry took to social media to defend herself, exclaiming: “YOU CAN DO ANYTHING! EVEN SATIRE!” She also shared a behind-the-scenes clip where she attempted to explain her intentions: “We’re kind of just having fun being a bit sarcastic with it. It’s very slapstick and very on the nose.” Unfortunately for Perry, her attempt at satire has fallen flat.
But the controversy doesn’t end there. Perry’s decision to collaborate with Dr. Luke, a producer accused of sexual assault by pop singer Kesha, has sparked further outrage. Despite never facing charges and later suing Kesha for defamation, his involvement in the track was met with disappointment from fans. One Instagram user vented: “Working with Dr. Luke, are you serious? That’s not very feminist/ female empowerment. So disappointed.”
Critics were equally scathing. Vulture dismissed the single as “the stalest sort of retread,” The Cut dubbed it “forgettable” and “cringe,” while The Guardian labelled it “regressive” and “dated.”

So here we have it – a liberal pop star desperately trying to resurrect her relevance with a misguided feminist anthem, a controversial collaborator, and a song that feels like a relic from another era. As we wait to see how Perry recovers from this blunder, one thing is crystal clear: this is not how you champion women’s empowerment.
