Ten Pop Songs for International Women’s Day

Shania Twain – Man! I Feel Like A Woman!

I’m going out tonight-I’m feelin’ alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Want to make some noise-really raise my voice
Yeah, I want to scream and shout

TLC – No Scrubs

No, I don’t want your number
No, I don’t wanna give you mine, and
No, I don’t wanna meet you nowhere
No, I don’t want none of your time

Meredith Brooks – Bitch

So take me as I am
This may mean
You’ll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I’m going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won’t mean a thing

India.Arie – Video

I’m not the average girl from your video
and I ain’t built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I’m not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I’m wearing I will always be the India Arie

    Don’t be a hard rock, when you really are a gem
    Baby girl! Respect is just the minimum”

    […] But technology and visual artists aside, there were other details that had me and my mother discussing it. Besides the fact that she told me she almost fell asleep (not because the movie was boring, but because the air conditioning made it the perfect spot for napping on a spring-but-still-hot afternoon). Politics of Oz (oppressor to be taken down by a fool who will serve as image) and Technology/Magic battles (Technology won!? YAY?) aside, we discussed Women. Fresh off International Women’s Day [1].
