When Shania Twain says “Let’s go girls” when I’m out with my girlfriends I swear to God it’s like we turn feral. Could absolutely tear down walls and rip doors off hinges.
Florence and the Machine’s song “King”- “But a woman is a changeling, always shifting shape. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out something new begins to take. What strange claws are these scratching at my skin? I never knew my killer would be coming from within. I am no mother. I am no bride. I am king.”
Someone already said it, but Labour by Paris Paloma
“All day, everyday therapist mother maid nymph, then a virgin, nurse, then a servant, just an appendage, live to attend him, so that he never lifts a finger. 24/7 baby machine, so he can live out his picket fence dream, it’s not an act of love if you make her, you made me do, too much labour.”
Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole by Martha Wainwright
“I wish I was born a man” For a few reasons….. But for me so I wouldn’t have been in an abusive relationship with a man who hated women…. So I wouldn’t have been sexually assaulted…. So I wouldn’t have been shamed, misdiagnosed as a kid, and my life would have been wider and freer.
Pretty much any lyric from ‘History of Man’ by Maisie Peters
“I couldn’t believe it, how you could just stop wanting me? You burnt down Easter Island, as if it wasn’t sacred to me.”
“She stays up, he’s sleeping like a lamb. She begs him, he says he doesn’t understand.”
“He stole our youth and promised heaven. The men start wars yet Troy hates Helen. Women’s hearts are lethal weapons. Did you hold mine and feel threatened?”
“I save you a seat, and then you say you wanna stand”
Forgiven by alanis Morissette.
“I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man/
My brothers, they never went blind for what they did/
But I may as well have.”
“When did it end, all the enjoyment? I’m sad again. Don’t tell my boyfriend. It’s not what he’s made for.” From Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For” from the film Barbie. Had me sobbing, thinking about how much I yearn for more emotional support from my partner 🥹
“All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid
Nymph, then a virgin, nurse, then a servant
Just an appendage, live to attend him
So that he never lifts a finger”
“A woman’s work/ a woman’s prerogative/ a woman’s time to embrace/ she must put herself first” from Mary Magdalene – FKA Teigs
And though I know technically there’s no specific mention of being a woman, I think What Was I Made For? By Billie Eilish is for woman. Because of what Billie has had to go through as she’s grown up and because it was a big part of the Barbie movie. And I always tear up at “I’m sad again/ Don’t tell my boyfriend/ It’s not what he’s made for/ What was I made for?”
“Cause I’m just a girl I’d rather not be, cause they won’t let me drive late at night, oh I’m just a girl guess I’m some kind of freak, cause they all sit and stare with their eyes” from I’m Just a Girl
When I’m feeling angry and unheard….American Bitch by Olivia Rodrigo:
I don’t get angry when I’m pissed
I’m the eternal optimist
I scream inside to deal with it
Like, “Ah”
Like, “Ah” (oh my fucking God)
All the time
I’m grateful all the time
I’m sexy and I’m kind
I’m pretty when I cry
Oh, all the time
I’m grateful all the fucking time
I’m sexy and I’m kind
I’m pretty when I cry
The whole song Highwomen by The Higwomen brings me to tears…same shit, different generations.
We are The Highwomen
Singing stories still untold
We carry the sons you can only hold
We are the daughters of the silent generations
You sent our hearts to die alone in foreign nations
It may return to us as tiny drops of rain
But we will still remain
WHEN YOU WAKE UP NEXT TO HIM, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WITH YOUR HEAD IN YOUR HANDS, YOU’RE NOTHING MORE THAN HIS WIFE ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
“What if I had thing on the side, made you cry? Would the rules change up or would they still apply if I played you like a toy? Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy.” -Ciara

Are you locked up in a world that’s been planned out for you? Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?

“I know my love should be celebrated, but you tolerate it” and I’m not even a TS fan.

“I am not a woman, I’m a God
I am not a martyr, I’m a problem
I am not a legend, I’m a fraud
So keep your heart, ’cause I already got one”
Martha Wainwright, Bloody Motherfucking Asshole:
I will not pretend
I will not put on a smile
I will not say I’m alright for you.
“All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid
Nymph, then a virgin, nurse, then a servant

New song by Lola Young “Messy” is fabulous. ‘A thousand people I could be for you, but you hate the fucking lot’.

I love my body.
I love my skin.
I am a goddess.
I am a queen.

Man, I feel like a woman.

All of Hailee Steinfeld’s Most Girls, but in particular:
Some girls like to keep their physique real private
Some girls wear jeans so tight ‘cause it feels so right
It’s my body, and it hates you
Why does everybody love you?
A&W by Lana Del Rey
I mean, look at my hair
Look at the length of it and the shape of my body
If I told you that I was raped
Do you really think that anybody would think I didn’t ask for it?
I didn’t ask for it
I won’t testify, I already fucked up my story
On top of this, so many other things you can’t believe
WHEN YOU WAKE UP NEXT TO HIM, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WITH YOUR HEAD IN YOUR HANDS, YOU’RE NOTHING MORE THAN HIS WIFE ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹

And also the whole lyrics of She’s Always A Woman To Me by Billy Joel
GIVE ME BACK MY GIRLHOOD, IT WAS MINE FIRSTTTTTT
Taylor Swift… Slut.
And if they call me a slut
You know it might be worth it for once
And if I’m gonna be drunk
Might as well be drunk in love
