    No, its absolutely meant to point out the hypocrisy and double standard.

    The video illustrates well how silly people are to be jealous and possessive when if the roles were reversed they know they would be just friends, not cheating.

    Where does the projection come from? It is taught to them by the mainstream media.

    I think it's just a pop song designed to make money.
