In USAToday film and music producer Mark Joseph reveals that "many, if not most, of the sexually charged female pop anthems of recent decades were based on the wishful thinking of male songwriters who persuaded female singers to express their desires, in the process confusing millions of members of the opposite sex about how women really view sexuality."  (emphasis added)

Joseph continues:

Amid Miley Cyrus' sexual coming out, her record-smashing single "Wrecking Ball" shot to the top of the charts. While a woman is credited as one of the writers, so are four men. Famed producer Dr. Luke, who had a writing hand in Katy Perry's I "Kissed a Girl" ("I don't even know your name; it doesn't matter; you're my experimental game") and Britney Spears' "Lace and Leather" ("Baby take your seat, eyes on me, this is my show; your one and only pleasure") was also involved. . . .

As Joseph points out, "This pattern has a long history." He explains:

Olivia Newton-John, the legendary singer who had delivered one of the sexiest songs of the 1980s, "Physical" [now says], "I didn't want to do it!". . . It turns out that the song -- once ranked as one of Billboard's top 50 sexiest songs of all time and one that, for then-teenagers like me, charted the outlines of female sexuality -- was written by two men. . . .

Even "Like A Virgin," Madonna's signature song of female sexuality, was written by a couple of guys, who returned in the 1990s using another woman to parrot their sexuality, this time with an over-the-top ode to masturbation, "I Touch Myself."

Although The Divinyls' lead singer, Christina Amphlett, was credited as one of four writers on the song, it was born when one of the two primary male writers jotted down the title in his notebook and wrote most of the song with his songwriting partner.

Pop's supposedly sexually liberating female songs, the article says, are "neither feminine nor liberating."

A related story is the surprising and now-notorious open letter from singer Sinead O'Connor warning Miley that she is being prostituted by the men in the music business:

 [They] will prostitute you for all you are worth, and cleverly make you think its what YOU wanted. . . .

Don't be under any illusions. . . . ALL of them want you because they're making money off your youth and your beauty. . . .

Real empowerment of yourself as a woman would be to in future refuse to exploit your body or your sexuality in order for men to make money from you. . . . I've been in the business long enough to know that men are making more money than you are from you getting naked.
