Just a few of my favourite feminist lyrics for international women’s day <3
“Every speed on our knees is crawling”
“I tend to your wounds as I bleed/you cover your ears, don’t wanna hear me scream”
“Was she your tv show? Was she your video? A woman’s pain, never private, always seen”
“To touch/to mold/to shape until they have control/you know they like girls better when they’re dead”
“Watch how he talks to me/like my brain was made for pretty/like I should be so lucky/that he’s explaining it to me”
“Boy you just a stupid bitch and girl you just a no good dick”
“The world is watching as I take my last breath/the world is watching as I get undressed/cause I’m pretty like drugs”
“I’m not waiting/til I grow up/to be a woman”
“Honey baby sweetness darling/im your little girl/your words are sticky stupid/running down my legs”
“I don’t have pity, not a single tear/for those who get joy from a woman’s fear”
“Does it scare you, boy/that we don’t need you?”
Ok I’ve hit the audio limit so some more honourable mentions:
Gothic Lolita - Emilie Autumn: “The law won’t arrest you/the world won’t detest you/you never did anything/any man wouldn’t do”
Decide - Heavens to Betsy: “I will decide this time/no man is gonna rule my life, she said”
ScheiBe - Lady Gaga: “I wish that I could dance on a single prayer/I wish I could be strong without permission yeah”, “Love is objectified by what men say is right”
Patriarch on a Vespa - Metric: “are we all brides to be? Are we all designed to be confined?” , “Until our faces all resemble dying roses/from trying to fix it”
