Lenny Kravitz came under fire for those lyrics(again, they were not written by him), and for the risqué images of women in his music video.
Some say, the lyrics are about war and America. Perhaps America is a woman metaphorically speaking. Others say, it is the denigration of the American woman. Saying she is way more powerful than she should be.
In my mind, either reasoning is kind of a bad look for women in America, but how did we get here?
