“We think too small, like the frog at the bottom of the well. He thinks the sky is only as big as the top of the well. If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view.” - Mao Tse-Tung

Its really not obvious to me that "little baby nothing" is a "feminist" song it actually seems more like a slut-shaming anti-prostitution song.
This song was the feminist anthem of the late 70's/early 80's.

The devaluation of the human world grows in direct proportion to the increase in value of the world of things. -Karl Marx
Of more value is that you understand and learn to not support your security on your clothes because if you lose everything then what are you left with if all you have is only decorations? What a shame. It surely sounds sad like a condemnation that you base your life on only material shit. Nothing special can be purchased.

john lennon and yoko ono both have plenty of feminist anthems.
woo-hoo! Woman Rock, Too!! Let's not forget Mae Jemison, first black woman in space, 1992!!
The seminal song for the 70's Woman's Liberation Movement.. recorded in 1970. (kind of over the top.. but would be remiss not to include as well as being a huge part of 70's counter culture and my 70's childhood).

Here's a video I've often posted on this site of Peruvian women prisoners from the Popular Women's Movement (a PCP front organization) commemorating International Women's Day. Personally, I think women singing together about how they're going to defeat imperialism and fight for revolution generally fits the revolutionary feminist criteria better than yankee pseudo-feminist pop artists. There's also the question of which is more empowering for women -- "social progress can be measured by the social status of women", "we will defeat evil imperialism!", "our way is armed struggle!" or some pity driven song with a sarcastic edge going "I'm just a girl".

I always get chills when I watch this video. RIP martyrs of Canto Grande.
No contest -- (and I didn't know it was!). There is no question-- Your video of the Shining Path woman prisoner's is much much much more empowering, of course, Mosfeld! Thanks for posting!

I'm sorry if I sounded harsh or something, not my intention! I've just been reading/watching lots of bell hooks lately and she always gets me pissed off

Probably the reason why I wrote "yankee pseudo-feminist pop artists"
A "slut-shaming" song is anything but pro-sexual liberation feminist.

It is the movement of people and things that distracts and even consoles, if there is still consolation to be had for one so unhappy. If the leaves of the trees did not move, how sad the trees would be and we too.

good interview of Bell Hooks. She made some interesting points that I agree with.. though I would argue that Madonna was ever a feminist icon. In fact, she has/and is.. but it's completely unwarranted. Madonna's gig was that she tried to be provocative but it was always in, at least to me, an anti-feminist way. I am sure many would vehemently disagree with that. I would present a longer critique, having witnessed her career from the beginning.. but I'll spare you all...

I dreamt of a flower that was so beautiful that when it whithered away and died a tear left my eye. I saw our births, our lives and our deaths. I felt fire paint me with pain and I felt a kiss on my lips with a knife in my neck. Love to heartbreak to self-destruction to birth and to finally learning to frolic back into the same trap with a warm smile.
