According to Thicke the song is about assuming that girls want hardcore sex but do not say it explicitly, which is basically promoting rape culture and non consensual sex. This should already set off an alarm in our minds reminding us of our human integrity, which the music industry really has us questioning with the release of awful works like this one. Blurred Lines shows misogyny in the music industry at its best.

It talks about women as sexual objects, normalising the idea of non-consent and even getting to the point of shaming women.

A phrase showing an indescribable level of superficiality with his lack of concern and interest in the girl’s feelings and consent, implying his only desire for sex.

Thicke justifies “his actions” by suggesting that good girls do not show their reciprocal desire for sex and because of this, their silence immediately means yes, that they are giving consent. The whole verse itself can be considered a double entendre or a dichotomy, contradicting itself, as it’s implicating that the woman is hiding her real desire behind the image of a good girl, but because the male figure is irresistible and she is a “good girl”, she will soon drop her mask and give in. What he is implying is that women have to be both a good girl and a bad girl to satisfy the needs of men. You can call me a pessimist or that I’m over analyzing everything, but you do have to admit that those words don’t really convey a sense of consent and you can’t say that they do not sound creepy at
