Critics were quick to say that Trainor’s video was sexist and set women back by implying that they should only be domestic housewives.

“[I was] just surprised at the random places people are asking me if I was being sexist,” she said. “But no, I don’t believe I was [being sexist]. I think I was just writing my song to my future husband out there, wherever he is. He’s chilling right now, taking a minute getting ready for me; it’s going to be great.”
