(NSFW) What are the limits for what a woman is allowed to do with her body?

I seem to be seeing an uptick in hate against Cardi B for her NSFW song

I don’t remember the last time I saw soooo much social media outrage over a sexually explicit song a man wrote.

I hear people calling her a whore for her dance moves, and also because she used to be a stripper.

Yes, Cardi B isn’t the most perfect example because there have been allegations against her She admitted to drugging and raping men. But this controversy is about the song I don’t see what the big deal is about this song. It’s a song that in my opinion would be played at a club. But because this song was released at a time where most clubs are closed, everyone is honed in on it.

It is not a bad song compared to the other club songs that are out there. I am not going to claim that this song is “empowering women” like some people are, but why the hell does it have to be such a big deal when a woman chooses to be sexual with her body?

I have seen a lot of my friends on FB go from “her body, her choice” and “Women can do what they want” to “why would a woman want to show herself in such a gross way” and “wow what a whore”.

I thought the general consensus of a lot of people my age was that women should be able to do what they want with their bodies. But there appears to be a limit. Why is that?
