In response to your post about Dylan Mulvaney’s “days of girlhood” song— how is Dylan’s song different than other songs that mention stereotypical womanhood? I’m talking about songs like Shania Twain’s “Man! I feel like a woman” or Katy Perry’s “California Girls.” would you say those songs are also harmful and misogynistic?
Days of Girlhood: Being a woman is retail therapy, getting prescriptions, texting men, and doing the walk of shame. (Also, the song is about ‘girlhood’ not ‘womanhood’, which just makes it creepy to be talking about the walk of shame.)
Man! I feel like a woman: I want to be free and have fun and do whatever I want to! (Things women don’t typically get to do because of misogyny.)
Californian Gurls: This song is also misogynistic and I won’t be defending it. It’s literally just ‘women from California are so hot so you should come here’ along with a lot of sexual innuendos. Someone else pointed out that it was actually written by a bunch of men including a rapist.
Man! I Feel Like A Woman was also written by a man IIRC.
None of the women who perform songs like this get exempt from criticism, either. Lots of people, feminists included, criticize popular music performed by women. I don't get why a song performed by a transwoman should get to be above reproach in that way. Especially because it's a fucking terrible song.
