In case you didn’t get it from her 12-track indictment of modern dating<\/a> on “Man’s Best Friend,” Sabrina Carpenter<\/a> has complicated feelings about the opposite sex.<\/p>\n

In a new interview with Italian Vogue<\/a>, Carpenter, 26, opened up about feeling “attacked” and “ridiculed” by some men amid her meteoric rise to pop domination.<\/p>\n

“I think they’re a really fun species to watch,” she said of men in the interview published Sept 23. “In both a good and bad way. I feel really adored, inspired, and loved by some of them\u2026 and really confused, attacked, and ridiculed by others.”<\/p>\n

Carpenter, a Disney star<\/a>-turned-singer-songwriter sensation, has become a cultural flashpoint in recent years, as both of her most recent albums leaned heavily into sexual politics, heterosexual dating dynamics<\/a> and double entendre upon double entendre.<\/p>\n

Her latest hit single, “Manchild,”<\/a> is no different, skewering men for their immaturity and general unwillingness to step up to the plate.<\/p>\n

“When one of my friends announces she’s having a son, I rejoice for that child,” Carpenter told Italian Vogue. “Because I know he’ll be raised right.”<\/p>\n

“Correct me if I\u2019m wrong,\u00a0I\u2019ve only been on Earth 26 years, but I feel like we should have been raising them forever,” she continued, in a seeming nod to her complaints on “Man’s Best Friend.” At one point on “Manchild,” Carpenter<\/a> croons, “Why so sexy if so dumb? \/ And how survive the earth so long? \/ If I’m not there it won’t get done \/ I choose to blame your mom.”<\/p>\n

The remainder of the lyrics on her album don’t stray too far from that sentiment, wavering between obsession and exasperation, as Carpenter faces down what she sees as the eternal bind between wanting love (and sex) and finding a partner worthy of it.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, it’s a story as old as time itself,” Carpenter joked to the outlet. She has been linked publicly to several famous men: Irish actor Barry Keoghan,<\/a> more recently, and fellow Disney star Joshua Bassett, who sat at the center of a love triangle that broke streaming charts.<\/a><\/p>\n
