“I didn’t even think that there was anything wrong or upsetting or offensive about ‘Dirrty’ whatsoever,” she told Vogue. “I wanted this album to embrace every different part of being a woman—from feeling empowered, and strong, owning my sexuality, and not from what a guy thinks it should be.”
Christina noted how society holds women to certain standards when it comes to their looks.
“There’s such a rule book that we need to look a certain way, on a certain front, act a certain way, be sexy, not too sexy, be a good girl, but not too good, ’cause that’s boring,” she said. “There’s such a rule book that’s handed to us and I was given it since I was very, very little and the older I got, the more I realized, you’re either going to be a part of the problem or you’re gonna stand up against it and create your own story.”
