This song is trash propaganda written to destabilize society. It did its job as we can see from the current state of things

@@cozytown5540what are you looking for in comments of this song? if you think this masterpiece will bring down the world? go back to your bunker and stay offline weirdo

@@beliciaT It's not a masterpiece, it's a piece designed and written to inflame male and female relations. It is a declaration of war on a functioning society. The singer only liked women anyway, so what business did she have singing about men? You're just too naive and ignorant to perceive the deeper truth

I just heard on a podcast that the woke think that the past, the 60's and 70's was a sort of Saudi Arabia, when in fact women and this kind of messaging wasn't nearly as revolutionary as people imagine. I am not saying there hasn't been an improvement curve but it's a little mythological. It's the same energy as K.Harris being Vice President is treated as groundbreaking/stunning, but, for example, C.Rice at Secretary of State, which probably holds more actual power as an office, is sort of background noise, forgotten about. I am no Republican, I am from Scotland, but it's interesting to note it suits the messaging more of this holy struggle through the decades to imagine an exaggerated image of the past. This song was written by men indeed. Not cause he was part of some cabal. Not because it was so revolutionary in that era as you have been lead to believe. If you imagine the past as a much less heated period than in your head, this song is actually written about a girl who doesn't like a bossy possessive boyfriend. That's all.

Agree

@@ottoneiii4353 He's referring to the time. The time when even the people of color didn't get much freedom. It's good to know there were still people who didn't think like the majority of their own community.

She is not young anymore.

Just thinking about how restrictive life for women had been in the 50s and early 60s. A teenager approaching marriage and womenhood would have felt like a prison sentence in some ways. Maybe even more for a lesbian like this singer who didn’t even have the romance with a husband to look forward to. The freedom of youth went double even triple in these times. And she was determined to be herself every second of it. You can feel the triumph and power in that line. It makes me emotional too.

Lol

That's the point she is tired of boys telling her what to do 🤣🤣🤣

20 years is a long time and things can change in that time span

lol it looks like that reply is meant for me because the other person deleted theirs.

I am confused about what you think was accepted - a woman singing about independence - and we are talking about your parents era - not the middle ages! Sweetheart that time era is one generation back and we are all open minded about woman power - SSMH

lol I wasn't referring to a woman singing about independence. I was referring to a woman who encouraged independence and took that action. Woman, despite legally having freedom, were and still are ridiculed to some point. So I didn't know back then that songs like this could be accepted considering how potent the bigotry towards woman was.... I'll let that "your parents era" thing slide. Even though this is 5 and 8 years before my parents were even born. I guess that's close enough...

TerraMarie and yet ppl don't sing songs like this in this era haha ironic right?

Helen Teddy's song, 'I am Woman' is also a good one.

Arnt you singing it now?😊

Thanks for the flashback --- The nightspots of North Hampton are amazing with the type crowd they attract. I'm in Pennsylvania, straight, but do appreciate lesbians, a best friend was one. Back in 1992 I was in North Hampton for a week hunting dinosaur footprints by canoe up river above Turners Falls, on the Connecticut River (came home with some nice stone footprints and memories). I was camping north west of town in a State Park. There were 3 night clubs/bars that I'd hit at night, amazing memories of all three - it was "Taste of North Hampton" week. The one night it was so foggy going back to camp I could hardly see the front end of my canoe on the roof of my white Lebaron coupe. I had a serious buzz on from a great night out and thought I must be insane driving like this through the mountains on a winding forest road back to camp. But, being an INTJ (tested genetic mastermind) I knew I could to do it. All I had to do was drive 30 minutes or so, blind and buzzed, and keep the car on the road until a State Park sign announced my turn onto another road. It worked, I found the camp. 🙃. The only problem with North Hampton was the early curfew, I think it was 1am when the bars had to close. I could have gone to 3am no problem. 🤘😎👍

A great singer

⁠@@trevorjohnpatrickwalkerYou think driving "buzzed" which is being intoxicated is a fond memory? It's a reckless, selfish thing to do and I hope you aren't still driving under the influence. 😑 2:03

Oh man I agree. Would be so nice to see a performance and relax in the vibe

as long as you've loved, been loved, and achieved along the way - then yeah....the ultimate awaits us all...as for me...I'm gonna have a beer, wait for the grandkids to arrive....because I've cooked dinner for them, and go out with a blast. You enjoy every day thomasposey.....

We're all gonna die one day. It's sad when we leave others and get left behind, but its gonna happen to all of us one way or another.

Thats a bleak way of thinking of it, my man. My perspective is always that they are so lucky to be young, to experience youth to the point that they express it in singing. Enjoy the life, we are young and love to be young, we are free and love to be free !

Damn bro what a buzzkill

In the 60's this sort of thing was promoted, so it was very easy to release such a song.

Its the wrong message. Women should obey their husbands.

Meade Music people should have an equal share when it comes to a relationship or anything like that. So men should also obey their wife to.

She was lesbian though, so she wasn't talking about sexism, just relationships in general.

I don't think she was even aware she was a lesbian when she recorded this song. I could be wrong, but... you have to understand the era. Ellen dated men for years until she realised.

I think you need to take your lithium.

As I recall, she hadn’t actually at the time of this performance realised that she was lesbian

Shit I just looked this up and you're not kidding

@@fb30xhk maybe not, still just thought it was neat knowing that she would eventually realize she was.

pjgumby Her music was great, I loved her like many thirteen year old boys did in 63.

+alejnikov I had no idea this was written by two men, thanks for sharing! There are plenty of men who respect and love independent and confident women, these two clearly did!

The feminism of the 1960s was real feminism, which fought for equality and for women's rights, current feminism is a hypocritical shit that does not fight for women's rights, but to take them away from men.

usagi tsukino nice icon

still a feminist song. Even today.

The song wasn't actually controversial though.

Even better that she was a lesbian, then. Lmao

That may be true, but you are taught to look into the rafters when you perform on stage - I didn't get the feeling she was feeling any panic.

Great story. She once said that she was susceptible to throwing up before a performance. She also said that if something was hard, it was all the more reason to do it.

I guess the audience owned her.

She still sang the song pal, what did you to get on records or sing before an audience? Can you do better? Jerk, just tired of your types, never, or ever will you even get to her level. Leave the slamming to other's who were on stage with her. I knew this song way before you were in diapers.

She looked upwards for like a second and then thoroughly enjoyed singing.
