Pharrell has spoken out to say that he is a feminist who respects “the pertinence of women on this planet”.

The singer and producer was widely criticised for producing the 2013 hit “Blurred Lines” which was hailed as sexist by many but has defended himself saying that he holds women in high regard.

 

“Most things one day will lose their value. But women never do. They are unique and individual,” he told The Sun.

 

“I love women and often admire their eyes, lips and other features of their bodies in a sometimes suggestive way.

 

“But I respect and hold what would be called 'a feminist view' too. I want to spread the message of the pertinence of women on this planet. It calls for the equivocation of women in society.”

 

He went on to explain that he doesn’t think it’s fair how men will often be paid more than women for doing the same job.

 

“Women don't get paid as much as men do and we have a perception of a male-dominated world.

 

“There may be some domineering chauvinistic forces. But men just would not be here without women. I needed to say that on the album.”
