Shania Twain is secretly a feminazi. (Not really, but let’s pretend.)
Shania Twain demonstrating how you can play football AND have great hair.
Shania is frustrated and needs to let out her feminine frustration:
“I'm going out tonight-I'm feelin' alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Wanna make some noise-really raise my voice
Yeah, I wanna scream and shout”
You let it all hang out, girlfriend. Burn that bra. Raise that voice. Shake that fist. The Man is always trying to shush The Woman. Shouting is the only way to be heard.
This is why vamp is a derogatory term. Thanks Bram Stoker. (This comic is referencing the author's novel "Dracula.")
Forgetting about oppression for a night, here's how Shania lets loose.
“No inhibitions-make no conditions
Get a little outta line
I ain't gonna act politically correct
I only wanna have a good time”
NO! to inhibition, prohibition, or inquisitions. YES! to exhibition, acquisition, and various positions.
Shania Twain, 1921.
A gal can have a one night stand and still make it to work on time the next morning. After hitting up Starbucks, of course. And she won’t feel bad about using the “c” word if a bitch cuts her in line.
“The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun”
That’s damn straight. Females were built to have the exclusive right to engage in pleasurable activities as they please. Eve ate the apple because she wasn't afraid to partake in an enjoyable albeit forbidden experience. Obviously, Adam was no fun until he met Eve.
How to dress like a strong female:
She's all about trying new things. I bet he uses the phrase "Worldwide Web" too.
How to dress like a strong female:
“Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts-short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style”
Putting on a man’s shirt while also wearing a mini to demonstrate that you’re not letting a patriarchal society control your sexuality through clothing? You go, girl.
In case you're not sure how you should look, just dress like you're in the 90s and still a fan of Nirvana.
Or like musical artist in the 80s, Annie Lennox, who preferred business attire to men's casual wear.
“Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction
Color my hair-do what I dare”
Hair is a big issue for women in western societies. A lot of men prefer their women with long hair and au naturel. But that's the only place they prefer hair.
Frida Kahlo tried on different hair styles in her paintings all the time. That's how you know she felt like a woman.
“The girls need a break-tonight we're gonna take
The chance to get out on the town”
“Girls just wanna have fun [and dye their hair]" is pretty much what this part of the song is saying.
Cyndi Lauper knew how to have fun, but as a girl. Not a woman. The times are a-changin'. Note the dyed hair.
“We don't need romance-we only wanna dance
We're gonna let our hair hang down”
Romance is for chicks named Scarlett...or Lady Macbeth. People need to read a little book called: A Room of One’s Own.
“Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!”
Never feel like you can't feel feelings. Feeling is important. Feeling free is especially important.
This is Margaret Cho. She likes to dress in drag. Note the hair.
With this song, Shania has helped shape herstory.
