I have always believed that the one of the best ways to show inequalities is to reverse the situation.
Malorie Blackman did it amazingly with race in her Noughts And Crosses series.
And feminists have been doing it with gender for a long time…

I adore this parody.
Sadly, don’t read the comments, please.
Because some of the commenters have missed the point.
Reversing the situation is not man-hating.
Reversing the situation does not make the video just as bad as the original.
Reversing the situation shows up the blatant inequalities and objectification in the original for what they are.
As the girls sing…
‘I apologise if you think my lines are crass,
Tell me how it feels to get verbally harassed.’
