Dua Lipa has openly spoken about her experiences of sexism in the music industry. In a new interview with Britain’s The Sunday Times newspaper, the 24-year-old candidly took on the topic of gender disparity in the entertainment business and used the way in which photographers go about trying to snap images of young female singers as opposed to their male peers as an example. “There is a lot less scrutiny of male popstars,” she said. “Maybe we’re more fun to write about?

I don’t know, but the way women are described compared to men, it’s, like, she is wearing shorts? ‘She puts on a leggy display!’ I just feel I’m here because I do music, but when people write articles like that about me, it takes it away from my talent and makes me a thing.
