I think we have to see things from both the male and female perspective here. Fair enough, guys who go out purely to pull and who are generally arrogant, womanising idiots deserve to be knocked back. Fair play to Pink for not falling for the selfish men who do this. But on the other hand, to me this is YET ANOTHER so-called 'Girl Power' song from a sassy female singer, who let's face it is reinforcing the stereotype about men in general, as being chauvinistic pigs. The fact is not all men are like this but the type of emo-loving teenage girl who Pink appeals to mostly will be lapping up these kind of lyrics, and many will take them too casually, perhaps pushing them towards sexism.
Too many rappers these days sing songs that are sexist towards women and too many female singers just sing about the same old garbage; Men hating, sex, and 'girl power.' For those with an open mind about music, who aren't just content with listening to the overplayed, mainstream stuff which the radio force-feeds you, check out the likes of the legendary Kate Bush and Tori Amos for proper, more sophisticated lyrics and a more intelligent and deep view of the male/female problem. Tori Amos herself was raped, and even then her lyrics don't come across as overly-critical towards men. She criticises men as well as women in her songs.
And one final point: I think many guys would agree with me here; Many females seem to have an almost unconscious desire to flirt with guys on a night out. Now if this is going to lead to something that both the guy and the girl want then there's nothing wrong with this at all. However, if it's done purely to 'trick' the guy and boost her ego, then this I'm afraid is pathetic. Some guys go out looking to pull, some don't, and the same applies to women. Let's be honest, many women who go on a night out dressed in next to nothing actually WANT to be pulled. On the other hand some just want the attention and of course some just want to have a good time. The main point here is that you have to see things from different perspectives.
I, I don't know what I say, All Is Dream, I'm speechless. In fact I don't need to say anything coz every syllable of what u've said makes undeniably flawless sense! You've summed up everything BRILLIANTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is you "Let's look at things from the perspective of a rapist because the rapist didn't think it was wrong!"

Stop making excuses for men who behave badly.

This song is about sexual harassment, dummy. Women have to deal with groping, cat calling, and staring all day, everyday. Pink is basically mocking and insulting men who sexually harass women and think they are entitled to our bodies, space and time, that we dress up for them and exist...

It's an existence you can't possibly conceive of, so instead you assume the song is about hating men. Except the part where it's not. It's a song about HATING ASSHOLES.
If you aren't one of those assholes, then this song isn't about you. Or maybe it is, and that's why you responded by insulting people who love Pink.
Women don't have an "unconscious desire" to do anything. Some women dress up for attention. Some don't. Either way, who cares? This song isn't about that. It's about respecting other people regardless of their reasons for dressing the way they do. Groping, catcalling, and staring is WRONG.
Act like a decent human being and stop making excuses for sexual harassment.
The Pink song I no longer care about and haven't done so for a long time. I also don't care for your comments and it was pure chance that I checked the email about the notification (it's been a while since I did anything on this site).

I made good points and yet you bang on about me "Making excuses for sexual harassment." You need to maybe subdue your hatred of men or your own biased views for a second and see where I was coming from. I obviously touched a nerve and yet the other feedback I got was positive.
You even started off the comment by insulting me. Why do that? Especially as you know nothing about me and my comment was so long ago. You need to sort your head out and take it out of your anus (maybe you have after all these years). I never once suggested sexual harassment was right and yet there are worse things happening in the world, if you care to open your eyes and ears a little.
