You call it hyperbole, female recording artists wrote a number 1 song about it.

This is from the Shania interview
Q: Many critics say that today’s country music is missing its rebels. Not bad boys—of which there is a surplus—but women who speak their mind through lyrics. It’s all about “bro country” right now—so many high-profile male soloists are writing hits about about women that still refer to them as “girl” in their lyrics.
A: Balance is important. Whenever it goes too far in one direction, it just gets boring. It’s very dominated by men right now. A lot of people are saying this to me as encouragement. We don’t have enough women. Maybe it’s more romance that country is missing right now. Women have a lot to say but it takes a lot of courage to say it. Women are the greater risk-takers. When they step out of what’s expected in this genre, they are really stepping in the line of fire.
Shania is saying when women step out of their roles and take risks they are risking their career. Wonder why? It's basically what Kacey Musgraves has said and Miranda Lambert and other women. LBT is feeling it currently as is Musgraves. Lambert managed to change her image enough to where she is the new darling of Nashville. No longer the outcast that wants to shoot men.
You can try to change the topic by making it about the messenger Kevin but it won't work.

"The music industry is filled with risk takers, but not so filled with people who educate themselves before taking the leap." –Brian Austin Whitney
