38. Irrelevant – P!nk 2022

 

Girls just wanna have rights
So, why do we have to fight? 

 

You can call me irrelevant, insignificant
I won't call on you at all

 

Wow . . . I don’t know what to say about what’s going on in America, other than I’m damn glad to be an Australian.

            Thank you P!nk for putting it together in a great song and a moving film clip.

            Feel free to read this article from Rolling Stone if you want more context.

5. What You Waiting For? – Gwen Stefani 2004

  You know you're only known 'Cause of your sex chromosome I know it's so messed up how our society all thinks (for sure) Life is short, you're capable (uh huh)   As an adult and therefore wiser - though only moderately so - to why things are different for the sexes, I often ponder the memory of my mum telling Tarnya and I that ‘It’s different for boys’ (refer to Post 4 ). At the bare basic chromosome level Y is the sex-determining chromosome in many species. It is the presence or absence of Y that determines male or female sex. The X chromosome is the other sex-determining chromosome in many animal species, including mammals, and is found in both males and females. The X chromosome was named for its unique properties by early researchers, which resulted in the naming of its counterpart Y chromosome, for the next letter in the alphabet, as it was discovered after the X chromosome. So, if we all have a X chromosome does this mean that we are all female (...

1. Just a Girl - No Doubt 1995

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  On the moring of 24 June 2010, having already dropped my gorgeous partner of the last nine or ten years off at work, I parked the car in my building’s car park and proceeded to the lift up to my floor. The lift ride inevitably involved awkward moments for any male unfortunate enough to be caught either in the vicinity of the lift or, worse still, within the lift, as they awkwardly scrambled to get out of my way in, what I am told, is a sign of respect for women, but really just comes across as if they think they are going to catch the plague off me. Woops. There’s one at the door, and yes, this one is making sure that I don’t spread any of my germs by using his arm to ensure that the doors don’t touch me. ‘What responsibilities these men have!’ is what I typically think to myself in these situations. ...

17. Supermodel – Jill Sobule 1995

  I didn't eat yesterday I'm not gonna eat today I'm not gonna eat tomorrow Cause I'm gonna be a supermodel!   Many years ago I went to the footy with a guy I was seeing at the time, and about three of his five brothers. North Queensland Cowboys matches in the late 1990s involved lots of alcohol consumption, lots of mascots promoting various businesses, and lots of cheerleaders. The cheerleaders were imaginatively named the Cowgirls, while the junior cheerleaders were the Ponytails. Now, one of the brothers was happily ogling and yelling obscenities to the Cowgirls as they demonstrated great dancing and gymnastic feats. He happily lead the procession of male mob mentality as the other brothers followed suit. Then out came the Ponytails, little girls, presumably aspiring to one day make it onto the Cowgirls squad. This is when one of the other brothers pointed out that the mob leading brother’s daughter was both a) not far off being old enough to join the C...
