The former Pretenders lead singer Chrissie Hynde is pulling no punches when discussing the pop singers of today. During an interview on BBC’s Woman’s Hour the legendary singer says:
‘I don’t think sexual assault is a gender issue as such, I think it’s very much it’s all around us now.
‘It’s provoked by this pornography culture, it’s provoked by pop stars who call themselves feminists. Maybe they’re feminists on behalf of prostitutes – but they are no feminists on behalf of music, if they are selling their music by bumping and grinding and wearing their underwear in videos.
‘That’s a kind of feminism – but, you know, you’re a sex worker is what you are.
Many pop singers today wouldn’t disagree with Hynde. In fact Adele said ” I make music to be a musician not to be on the cover of Playboy”
