The "you know you want it" could very well be about a shy girl, or a girl playing hard to get. Not meaning the end result is rape, but more, like "admit it, you want me". I like having my hair pulled and my a.s.s smacked I don't find it demeaning or violent, so who's to say the girl in the song doesn't too.
The part of "tear your a.s.s in 2" yeah I can understand the brutal sodomy people choose to see, but I grew up around boys, hung out with guys and now ultimately men. They kinda say things like that to express how hard the wanna fk someone. I've never thought my peers meant raping anyone, and they didnt.
So IMO? No its not a rape anthem. If the lyrics stated the girl screamed (in terror), said "no" or ran away, I'd change my mind though. Nothing in the lyrics suggest anything is being done against anybody's will. It sounds more like a lot of begging for sex.
Like alot of things in life, its about perception. How we perceive this song is how we perceive it. Only way to know who's right is ask the song writer, instead of spread our possibly damaging perceptions all over.

HERE HERE!! I just like it for the catchy tune... I've never really given it any thought but when I do I agree with this. besides there is such thing as being "too feminist" its when you start to believe that men should be put on the bottom... not all men are dicks just as not all women are saints... but if we start to think that women are better than men then we are no better than they were when they treated us how they once did. That being said, i also believe that men and women will never be equal mostly because of simple genetic features (e.g. womb), to be equal would be to remove the label woman or man, its there because something is different.
