After Katy Perry<\/strong> released the video for her new single “Woman’s World<\/a>,” fans criticized it because the song is supposed to be a female empowerment anthem, but it shows Katy in several scanty outfits, and even has a closeup of her boobs. But according to Katy, it’s all meant to be a joke.<\/p>\n

In a video she posted to Instagram<\/a> on July 13, Katy said, “We\u2019re kind of just having fun being a bit sarcastic with it, it\u2019s very slapstick, and very on the nose.”<\/p>\n

Then, referring to the first part of the clip — where she and her dancers do construction work in skimpy outfits before an anvil falls on her — she explains, “With this set, it\u2019s like, \u2018Ooh, we\u2019re not a<\/em>bout the male gaze but we really are<\/em> about the male gaze,\u2019 and we\u2019re really overplaying it and on the nose because I\u2019m about to get smashed.”<\/p>\n

“Which is like a reset, a reset for me, and a reset for my idea of feminine divine, and it\u2019s a whole different world we go to after this,\u201d she concluded. “We wanted to open this video making it look like a super high gloss pop star video, and that\u2019s what it is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

She captioned the post, “YOU CAN DO ANYTHING! EVEN SATIRE!<\/span>“<\/p>\n

Fans weren’t convinced. One wrote, “I don\u2019t think you read the room with this video. It just looks like an excuse to showcase your rockin\u2019 body. It\u2019s not \u2018ironic\u2019 or empowering.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Another accused Katy of “reinforcing unattainable standards of beauty and sexualization of women.” Another noted, “When you have to give this much of an explanation, the bit doesn\u2019t work.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Fans also continue to criticize Katy for working with producer Dr. Luke<\/strong> — who Kesha<\/strong> accused of abusing her — — on the song. Dr. Luke denied Kesha’s accusations.<\/span><\/p>\n
