[QUOTE="witzend, post: 295978, member: 99"] Yeah, Tanya Tucker was the release that got the play here. But a few years later, I think. And Marg, I wasn't always that confident, and still am not. I'm aware that women are still second class citizens when it comes to the real power and the real money. But those [I]lyrics![/I] I was in 3rd grade and could have written something less childlike. Why not tell everyone how strong and invincible you are without thinking that just because you know a four syllable word that you can use in a three word sentence it makes you sound intelligent. I think it kind of bothered me, too, that there was some sort of idea that if women sat in front of the TV and watched her, or sang along on the radio, that made them more liberated as the washed the laundry, did the dishes, cooked the dinner, vacuumed, all while holding down a full time job. "Woo hoo! Women get to add full time work to their list of things they gotta do!" Even at 9, I knew that wasn't such a great deal. FWIW, Women still only earn 77% of what men do in the same jobs men do. We have a long way to go. [/QUOTE]
