Misogyny and Philogyny in Music: Shakira, Rihanna and Madonna

This paper critically examines Shakira and Rihanna’s 2014 duet Can’t Remember to Forget You, which subverts traditional gender roles and celebrates female solidarity (philogyny) while challenging misogyny. Through content analysis, it explores themes of female agency, sexual autonomy, and resistance to patriarchal constructs. By reclaiming their narratives and redefining nudity as empowerment, the artists dismantle male-centric perspectives and celebrate women’s control over their sexuality and artistry. Incorporating insights from feminist scholars, the study contrasts this portrayal with Madonna’s earlier performances, demonstrating how Shakira and Rihanna’s work reshapes discourse on female identity, respect, and liberation in popular culture.
