Justin Bieber 'What Do You Mean' Lyrics Criticized by Lena Dunham for Rape Culture Reference

Dunham spoke out against "What Do You Mean?" on Twitter, saying that the song's message about women's muddled feelings perpetuates rape culture and takes on the issue of sexual consent.

Dunham is calling out the chorus to "What Do You Mean?" in which Bieber asks, "I really want to know / What do you mean? / When you nod your head yes / But you wanna say no / What do you mean?"

The song, though it doesn't specifically mention sexuality, seems to imply that women don't know what they want when it comes to relationships, which could be extended to cases of consent.

For his part, Bieber has yet to respond to Dunham.

"What Do You Mean?" is the lead single off Bieber's fourth studio album, which has yet to receive a title but has been confirmed for release on Nov. 13. After a month's worth of buildup, the track finally dropped on Friday, Aug. 28. Bieber followed the big release up with a performance at the VMAs, and a skateboard and sex filled music video on Sunday (Aug. 30).
