Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

AIBU to start a music thread? There are some great female artists out there who explain what it's really like to be a woman. (And it's not about wearing makeup and dresses and looking cute).

Lots of female empowerment songs out there. But what about songs that actually speak about the struggles and difficulties that we encounter every day as women?

@BreadInCaptivity

I love Tracy Chapman and adore fast car. A very good example of the sacrifices we make as women.

Which reminded me of this:

Yes Tracy is a class act.

I adore that whole album. Not a dud song on it.

We can also add:

Anyone who is joining the thread....

....this thread is about the struggles we have as women, that men don't have.

....in some ways these struggles define us. Not because we are weaker, less intelligent or pointless. More because men have the power and that's how society is.

.... and also the purpose of it being on this board is that yes, some people born as men are actually women.....but...... until you start living as a woman you have no idea what we experience every day.
