Trace Adkins at the CD USA week 4 at Tribune Studios. Los Angeles, CA - 08.02.06

The country star's promos have come under fire from women's rights groups, who claim Adkins is glorifying womanising and holding up females as sex objects.

The singer fumes, "That is so crazy to me... I almost take it as an insult to my intelligence. Do they think that I am so incredibly stupid to do something to exploit women when I am the father of five beautiful daughters? I mean, c'mon."

Adkins is also perplexed by those who were offended by his "slap your grandma" line on his bar anthem Honkytonk Badonkadonk.

He adds, "It's just an old Southern expression. All it means is that this woman is so ridiculously hot... that it would make me do the unthinkable - slap my grandma.

"That's the last thing I would ever do. If someone was holding a gun to my head, I wouldn't slap my grandma.

"For people to take that literally, it just amazes me... I know what's right. I just don't always do right. And you don't, either.

"But stop holding me to a higher standard than you hold yourself. I'm just saying things out loud that you won't say -but you think them. So give me a medal for bravery, and go about your way."
