This gif is a small clip from Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda music video. \u00a0She takes the banana in the beginning on the scene and rubs it, licks it, and then turns makes a disgusted face, cuts the banana and throws it off to the side. \u00a0Now, obviously this banana is not just a regular banana but a symbol representing the male genitalia. \u00a0This music video\/song in general is empowering women to do what they please sexually, be proud of the body they were given, defying what is usually culturally acceptable in terms of body image for women, and women being in charge, sexually, when it comes to men. \u00a0I think this GIF in particular says a lot about women and their relationship with men. \u00a0Women DO NOT NEED MEN TO SURVIVE. \u00a0I think men think that women were made to please men and for the sexual use for men, when clearly that is not the point of women at all. \u00a0Women can be strong, and sexy, and talented all at once. \u00a0The banana representing a male’s penis, Nicki is nice to it at first showing that yes, a penis can sometimes makes a woman happy, because it fulfills their sexual need, however, men are not to get too cocky, because women can cut it and throw it to the side once it becomes either not of use to them, or the man starts to act up, or just because the woman is no longer interested or wants that from that man. \u00a0They are allowed to do that. \u00a0They have the right. \u00a0Nicki has a knife in her hand which really spoke to me, because it puts the power in the hands of a woman when usually the power would normally be put in the hands of a man, but in this case, it is not a normal video with the man in charge. \u00a0Also, Nicki is is a sexy, maid, outfit which shows that just because a woman is in a sexy outfit doesn’t make them any less capable of having the upper hand or being in charge. \u00a0It also shows that a woman isn’t necessarily being sexy for a man’s pleasure but for her own pleasure, her own sake. \u00a0Woman’s actions aren’t motivated by a man’s reaction, which a lot of people think, but this is not the case. \u00a0Later on in the music video, Nicki gives a lap dance to Drake, who is a label-mate of hers on Cash Money Records. \u00a0Drake goes to put his hand on Nicki’s butt and she slaps it and walks away. \u00a0Not only is this flirtatious, but, it again shows the woman being in control, and that they can dance on a dude but still demand respect and to be respected as a woman, because again, women have sexual needs and desires as well.\u00a0https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/nicki-minaj-wow-anaconda-GZc9AWrzf7Q8E<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
