While I completely agree with the premise of the article, I always felt that the backlash to the song was unwarranted.

It’s not rapey.

At all.

He’s just a guy trying to convince a chick who’s in an (unsatisfying) relationship that he’s the better option.

I’m not gonna lie — I chalked this one up to White Feminism ’cause I’ve listened to it plenty and yeah…still not rapey.

Just an arrogant dude pleading his case to a hot chick. No more or less.
