(�-��-�게?), "fool" (�"보), or "I don't give a fuck" (몰라) suggest dat tha hoes is "utterly clueless children" whoz ass "dumb [themselves] down" just ta attract a partner n' shiznit yo. Dude further cited tha single "I Got a Boy" as a epitome of tha groupz non-empowerin lyrics, wit lines like fuckin "I gots a funky-ass boy, he phat / I gots a funky-ass boy, he kind / I gots a funky-ass boy, thugged-out boy, mah heartz been taken away [...] My fuckin pimp biaaatch! / When will you rescue me son?" Kim came ta tha conclusion dat "female K-pop artists orient theyselves round pimps up in order ta bust attention."[196] Despite tha criticism, nuff muthafuckin of Hoes' Generationz joints, like fuckin "Run Devil Run", "Hoot", n' "Shiznitty Girl" (from they 2011 eponymous Japanese mixtape) is noted fo' portrayin "confident lil' dem hoes wit they own opinion", which be a thugged-out departure from they early singles.[69] Da groupz 2011 single "Da Boys" was noted fo' conveyin a feminist theme n' was compared ta Beyoncéz 2011 single "Run tha Ghetto (Girls)" fo' tha same "women-powered" content;[197] Eun-Young Jun up in tha book Da Korean Wave: Korean Media Go Global (2013) noted its lyrics fo' depictin "sexually darin dem hoes" whoz ass is Kool & Tha Gang up in they sexuality.[178]
