Is Britney a victim of misogyny in the Scream & Shout remix music video?

[Cancer]

Diddy constantly calling Britney a 'bit/ch' and telling his 'bi'tch' to turn the music up strikes me as woman-hating and demeaning. 

Britney got revenge by shading Diddy in some of her IG posts, but it's not enough in my opinion. The Scream and Shout remix is ******ic and seemed to involve a bunch of men shouting at and bullying a woman. I highly doubt Britney had any control over it, making it worse.

I can't even re-watch the Scream & Shout (Remix) MV because it makes me deeply uncomfortable. Not sure that sh/it would fly in 2022.

Never thought about that, I used to like the remix, but now you've made a point which I wanna punch Diddy in his ugly face

I mean, I think some things that wouldn't be appropriate in real life conversation are accepted in song lyrics. For instance, Every Breath You Take by The Police has creepy lyrics about a man stalking big time his girlfriend/lover. That is creepy as hell and would not be cool in real life but the song is flawless and a classic. I think art allows some messages to be expressed and not being taken as seriously.

Nonetheless, I think I might have listened to the S&S remix five times in my life at most, I always listen to the original.

Well, I'm sure if Britney never said Britney bish, Diddy would have never used that in an ad-lib, seeing how he has never used  the b word in that capacity in his music. Plus "turn up" was a popular term at the time. It kinda goes together after britney says "britney bish" "turn up bish" 

[idontgare]

there’s only one *****…the real one…

[RedCarpet]

I mean „*****” is and was like Britney catch frase at that point and she even says „Britney *****” in the song herself  plus she recorded released song called Work ***** and made it first single of her album. It’s Britney *****, get over it. Not everything has to be serious all the time. I call my friends *****es all the time, all love. 
 

edit: how can word „*****” be censored on Britney forum? Wtf 

[ByDemand]

It's a term of endearment 

[G-unit]

I always interpreted it as Diddy calling the listener a bish and telling them to turn it up, since Britney is doing the same.

I used to love it back in the day, but now I find the remix disgusting to say the least. It’s uncomfortable to hear a bunch of no names screaming and yelling at Britney with zero art intended to it. What makes it worse for me is Britney’s past with abusers. … this remix should be removed immediately! I don’t know who let Diddy near Britney considering his notoriously (makes-me-sick-type-of-) past, not when he had been accused of ******! 
 

The only respectable legend in there is Lil Wayne. I think he has massive respect for Britney and is always shouting her out on his songs.

lol yeah

britney is speaking to the listener "you gotta turn turn it up"

Diddy adds "turn it up *****" 

it's not britney turning up, it's the listener who's asked to turn up

[fays1]

lol nothing s**ist about it

[kdub87]

I’m not a puss at all but I remember watching it for the first time and thinking it was WAY overly aggressive with the B-I-T-C-H! Like it felt uncomfy and I wanted to give ‘em all a light smack

it's not britney turning up, it's the listener who's asked to turn up

exactly, it's also shown in the lines that precede Waka Flocka Flame:

Quote

Mother****ers I said put your hands up
Turn
the
****
up
right
mother****in’ now

 

y'all feeling offended for Britney, when the offended ones should be you lol 

 

Also, without counting the Mood Ring remixes where Britney calls herself a *****, the original phrase which is used in S&S is 

"It's Britney, *****". The ***** isn't Britney, but the listener.

People are very sensitive these days

Diddy wants the music turned up because Britney is screaming and shouting, surrounded by like what? six black dudes, probably with humongous... now i'm seeing pictures in my head that i never thought of. But it's not the tea though... just a very distorted perspective . Is Work ***** queerbaiting then or just generally demeaning too?

[jokobish]

Please calm down and don’t make this something it’s not. Just say you don’t like rap music & keep it pushing 

[MomOfTheYear]

I'm offended by the remix but just because it's poor

[Britney'sBish]

It's misogynistic as heII, but it's not about Britney.

But that's rap music in general, but if you point out the problematic lyrics too much they'll just label you as a racist.

[ovoxo]

Personally I don’t think it’s that deep. 
 

what I find funny though is when they say “this is the super black man remix” and show a shot of Britney  she looked really good though.
