Think how controversial this would be if it was a man who had 4 women tied up in his basement...

Isn't that basically that situation with that Castro dude from Cleveland?

We don't need to think about it hypothetically, that did happen.

I don't have to think, it happened in Cleveland.

I'm confused.

The video seems to be about a woman who invited four men over, who she then drugged and tied up. She yells at them. She makes them perform as her band. She abandons them, while she drives around, and entertains guests upstairs. But why four men? Is it about some sort of religious polygamy? And why would the band (if this is them) agree to this presentation of themselves? Only at one point, and only faintly, does a man sing that he too will "point [her] to the mirror". It's easy to miss, kind of like the MRM itself.

The song seems to be about a wife who thinks her husband is accusing her of changing, and who thinks her husband demands control perhaps for religious reasons. Then it veers off into threats of violence (which in Cut the World, Antony and the Johnsons take to its sickening misandristic conclusion.)

It's just so interesting. The cute gay boys are always making gender-swapped versions of happy pop songs. And angry feminists are always making gender-swapped versions of sexy pop songs. But who is doing the gender-swapped version of these hateful celebrations of violent revenge?

Gender-swapping songs and videos is an established way to make a point about equality. Why isn't it happening?

Remember that a Russian woman also did this once.
