On one hand, her music touches on a lot of issues that women face, and "Sex Yeah" is a blatant TakeThat to objectification of women and gender roles (the "Sex" in the title referring to both meanings of the word: sexuality and gender). On the other hand, Marina has been seen by some as attempting to distance herself from that demographic ("''Do you really want me to write a feminist anthem? I'm happy in the kitchen cooking dinner for my husband''"), and some of her songs such as "Girls" and "Better Than That" (which specifically states "''I'm not passing judgement on her sexual life/I'm passing judgement on the way she always stuck her knife''") have faced accusations of SlutShaming, although their lyrics (especially "Girls") could be considered satirical as well. This has lead some to think that heralding her work as a feminist masterpiece is a serious case of MisaimedFandom. Marina is well aware of this debate, acknowledging as early as 2011 that she was uncomfortable singing "Girls" while in 2020 she resolved to only use women in the production of her next album.
