The minute Sabrina Carpenter’s cover for Man’s Best Friend dropped, the internet responded by calling it sexist and a step back for feminism. Then the album itself was released and all of us who had brain cells were vindicated in our excitement for it. Meaning, we always understood Carpenter’s intention.
From the jump, I thought that the concept for the album was giving “how men view women” and less about a woman submitting to a man and letting him treat her like a dog. But hey, that was just me I guess. Many online felt the need to bash the album, call out Carpenter, and scream before they ever heard the songs on the album.
