Aside from suggesting that masturbation is a "more defiant act of self love and self care," Pitchforks stab at the best onanistic songs by female pop stars is largely devoid of politics, which is refreshing. This is truly a playlist that speaks for itself (just as its subjects do other things for themselves), but its in interesting to note in passing that this contains a couple of tracks that are not on Spotify or Apple Music, and, to date, has not been uploaded to Pitchforks Apple site. Were all curious to see how Pitchfork ongoing relationship with Apple will affect its core, site content, and this suggests that maybe their business relationship isnt getting in the way of a good (if click-baity) playlist.
