A quick look at the song’s music video probably won’t change your mind.
But note two things:
1) The song is about ass-shaking. Nothing more sinister than that. Everyone in the video is shaking their ass. Telling women to shake their ass could be mysoginistic, but not “to a violent degree.”
2) Look at the type of people who are shaking their ass. It’s not just sexy women, it’s also men and women who would never be deemed attractive by today’s standards. To me, this is a strong indicator that the point of this song isn’t sexual objectification in the least.
