Minaj is idolized among the teenage demographic and sends them a negative message that goes against the fight for gender equality by singing this song. In 2016, we are still far from completely eliminating gender inequality. However, there are positive role models such as Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani teenager who is an activist for girls' education, “has given to millions of girls. . . the opportunity to gain an education and empower a future greater than caring for a family.” (Schemmer). With the help of activists like Malala and society slowly progressing, small steps are being made and one day gender equality will be a reality for everyone. Artists have a great opportunity to be heard by large masses to educate and spread positive messages to improve our society, especially when society is engaged in a daily struggle to reach a milestone like that of the genre.
