Lily Allen- Hard Out Here

Lily Allen has made a statement. She has made a statement about how much women are victimised on mail websites especially the daily mail. They have a little section on their page where they slate mostly women and comment on their weight, drugs and scandals, very rarely will something nice be said. Lily Allen noticed how horrible it was when they did a chart of her weight over a period of time, showing how much she had gained and also making remarks about her baby that she had lost. Lily felt small, ugly and fat. After having two children she decided to write an open letter to daily mail, in a song 'hard out here'.

Her song is not only stereotyping women of todays society and the social pressure they receive but it is also a message to men for making women feel like this. Lily allen says "around the same time that women started to become successful in the workplace they started to get slated for their looks"by men. Because men were jealous that they were doing good and felt insecure about it.

Lily being lily decided to make a statement in the loudest possible way, she takes direct aim at some of the most controversial topics in recent pop music including Robin Thickes video for Blurred Lines where he has balloons behind him saying "Robyn has a big dick"with women holding them, Lily decided she would have balloons behind her saying "Lily has a baggy pussy" She is showing the way people think today about men and women and how they are different. how women are displayed to be more inferior.

Lily Allen is almost taking the Micky but at the same time proving a very valid feminist point.

Lily was also accused of having a racist video because her background dancers were of a different race to her. headlines in the african american online website suggests "Singer attacks sexism with rascist and sexist video" however this was not the case. Lily defended herself by coming back with a tweet "the video had nothing to do with race. It had been meant to be a lighthearted satirical video that deals with objectification of women within modern pop culture. the message is clear".
