Not a bad song but the lyrics are shit and verging on misandrist and the video cringeworthy. The Manics at their pretentious, bleeding heart, sloganeering worst.
@Preskinn I think it is misandrist. The Manics did jump on the radical Feminist thing at the start using quotes describing men as not fully evolved in comparison to women. The song can be taken as a critique of what society regards as gender traits but I see it as an attack on pornography that is portrayed as an industry that exists to exploit women for male gratification. Traci Lords who sees herself as a victim of porno on vocals adds to the anti porno/male perspective.
@Easyandy100 Is that so? Well that's not how I read it myselft. Just interested - do you feel that porn nowadays is not exloitative to and of degrading of women? Is it anti-male to see that in the pornography busines? I mean, I am sorry but that much is obvious. Anyway - hats for info even if I don't think we agree on all of this.
@Preskinn Opinions on porno are hugely varied. My personal feeling is generally no, I don't think it is exploitative and degrading to women. Indeed there are Feminists who see it as empowering to women as they are taking control of their sexuality in a patriarchal society that fears and therefore aims to control female sexuality. I wonder who is being manipulated in porno, the performer of the viewer regardless of gender?
ok, so if this song is bout women traffickin and abuse,being treated as sexual objects,and so on.... what on earth is the hammer n sickle got to do with that? i know richey was too profound but still.... as for communism - best bitch!!!
@ThePikachuThing never a truer word said. Who else could write a song this daring, this real? Well, Sinead for one, but there ain't many, that's for sure.
@ThePikachuThing are there any decent bands at all now coming out? Vampire weekend have great music but weak lyrics but good tunes or at very best average lyrics....

@nickybeet ps manics are anti-fascist if you like them u are probably that too but just remember your club will have a higher percentage of BNP voters, not an overall meanigful number but two or three times the number the celts have.
So you can't simply LIKE a band without involving politics or social belief systems? You sound pretty one dimensional. Taking this, for example: It appears to be a rather liberalist / socialist take on women on first glance, but it is curiously objective and critical of both men and women and how they behave toward one another, especially when one look at the lyrics. 'Used, used, used by men' almost seems to mock women's willingness to blame man for everything.
@DrownedBeliefs good answer but I was talking to someone else who was basically saying catholics by religon cant be opposed to nazism. He was a bit of a closet supremacist, as for your take on the song well done!
