Kelly Rowland as "Rosie the Riveter"
So, after getting pissed at someone who tried to tell me what feelings and opinions I should have as a woman, it made me want to uncharacteristically curse and quote Madonna's "Human Nature": "I'm not your bitch, don't put your shit on me." I then began to ponder on all of the pro-female songs I enjoy. Here are the lyrics from a FEW of them off the top of my head. I'm sure I'll add to this list as time goes on. Below are music video clips. What are some of your favorite pro-female lyrics?
"You didn't want to see life through my eyes…silence me with bitterness and lies…You punished me for telling you my fantasies, I'm breakin' all the rules I didn't make… I’m not sorry…I’m not your bitch, don’t put your shit on me...Did I have a point of view? Oops, I didn’t know I couldn’t speak my mind." –Madonna (Human Nature)
“So take me as I am…This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man.”-Meredith Brooks (Bitch)
"When I'm on a mission, I rebuke my condition. If you're a strong female, you don't need permission. I wish I could be strong without somebody there…I wish I could be strong without the scheiße (shit)."- Lady Gaga (Scheisse)
“Don't tell me to behave, 'Cause I'll never play that game, Don't tell me what to do…Don't look at me that way, 'Cause I ain't never gonna change, And if you're talking about my life
You're only wasting your own time.” –Christina Aguilera, (Still Dirrty)
“Call me a bitch ‘cause I speak what's on my mind, guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled. When a female fires back, suddenly big talker don't know how to act, so he does what any little boy would do, making up a few false rumors or two…This is for my girls all around the world who've come across a man who don't respect your worth, thinking all women should be seen, not heard, so what do we do girls? Shout out loud!”-Christina Aguilera, (Can’t Hold Us Down)
“To all the men that respect what I do, please accept my shine…You know you love it how we’re smart enough to make these millions, strong enough to bear your children-then get back to business.” -Beyonce`(Run the World)
“Tell me how you feel about this, try to control me boy you get dismissed, pay my own fun, oh and I pay my own bills, always 50/50 in relationships. If you're gonna brag make sure it's your money you flaunt, depend on no one else to give you what you want…I am my number one priority.”-Destiny’s Child (Independent Woman Pt1&2)
"I don't need somebody to complete me; I complete myself. Nobody's got to belong to somebody else. I belong to me, I don't belong to you. My heart is my possession; I'll be my own reflection. I belong to me; I'm not one half of two, and if you're gonna love me, you should know this baby…I belong to me”- Jessica Simpson (I Belong to Me)
"Take this pink ribbon off my eyes, I'm exposed and it's no big surprise. Don't you think I know exactly where I stand? This world is forcing me to hold your hand 'cause I'm just a girl, little 'ol me, don't let me out of your sight. I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite, so don't let me have any rights…Oh, I've had it up to here!"-No Doubt (Just a Girl)
"I am a superwoman, yes I am. Even when I'm a mess, I still put on a vest with a "S" on my chest, oh yes, I'm a superwoman."-Alicia Keys (Superwoman)
"You didn't want to see life through my eyes…silence me with bitterness and lies…You punished me for telling you my fantasies, I'm breakin' all the rules I didn't make… I’m not sorry…I’m not your bitch, don’t put your shit on me...Did I have a point of view?
