It comes just days after the former Pretenders star faced an online storm after claiming women who get drunk and dress immodestly may be inviting rape .
Now she's hit out at scantily-clad singers, claiming they have created a "pornography culture" by "bumping and grinding" on stage.
The star spoke out during an interview with BBC’s Woman’s Hour yesterday, saying: "I don’t think sexual assault is a gender issue as such, I think it’s very much all around us now.
"It’s provoked by this pornography culture, it’s provoked by pop stars who call themselves feminists.
"Maybe they’re feminists on behalf of prostitutes – but they are no feminists on behalf of music, if they are selling their music by bumping and grinding and wearing their underwear in videos.
"That’s a kind of feminism – but, you know, you’re a sex worker is what you are.
"I think it’s provocative in a way that has nothing to do with music. I would say those women are responsible for a great deal of damage."
While she doesn't name anyone, it appears Chrissie is referring to scantily-clad stars such as Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and more.
The 63-year-old said she blames herself for being preyed on by a biker gang when she was 21.
She said: “However you want to look at it, this was all my doing and I take full responsibility.”
Hynde, who was forced to perform sexual acts under threat of violence by the gang in Ohio, US, said: “You can’t f**k about with people who wear ‘I Heart Rape’ and ‘On Your Knees’ badges... You can’t paint yourself into a corner and then say whose brush is this?
“You have to take responsibility. If you play with fire you get burnt.”
She said she felt full responsibility – and went on to claim that women who are drunk and incapable, or dressed unsuitably, may be “enticing” rapists .
She said: “If I’m walking around in my underwear and I’m drunk? Who else’s fault can it be?"
