Shes unbelievable. This song is incredible and brilliant

I wish I would have seen the call for this. I have to bring my husband in doctors appointments with me so the doctors listen to me. I want to scream this song constantly.

She’s like Lesley Gore and Helen Reddy.

This is my life... 😭 and I have been crying out for help to get out, yet I'm called lazy and a child. All because I got myself into this mess. I knew better. He lured me in with fancy love words, and as soon as he knew i was hooked on him, he changed. It was all apart of his plan. Too break me down so much that I didnt know who i was anymore, get me pregnant right away, and tell me I was NOT having a abortion. Not with his baby. He became so scary almost like a demon. So scared I had his child. And another and another. He kept me pregnant. But fed me lies of love.... it's all for love. And oh, no you cant go back to school now and finish your classes for EMT. You have to stay at home with all these kids you just popped out. Its cheaper and besides i need to work. I make more money!! I was not allowed to work. That would mean I could make my own money and leave him. But I was allowed to go be a stripper, dancing for other men, as long as he could watch, but he made sure whatever money was made, it went all to bills so I had none left. It was the most horrifying and degrading thing ive ever had to do and go through. It made me feel like the most disgusting woman ever... and he made sure to use it against me any time I tried to speak up.... Calling me names to make me feel even more disgusted with myself!! Now I'm stuck. I was busy building him an empire, while he was busy digging me a pit. And I fell right into it. If I go, I have no family, it was only my mom who abandoned me at 15. My friends turned their back on me, because they got tired of watching me go through h3ll...or they just had their own life to deal with. I go, I'm going alone and with nothing. Thats a big problem here for women and it needs to stop!! How many women ive seen go through what i have, and all for a man who used her so he could live out his dream. I feel like i was no more than a baby machine for him. Do you know I was forced to give one of our babys up for adoption. No one else knows that, but me and him and the agency who the adoption was through. Its a long story but its now part of my trauma!! I'm so miserable and just want out. But I have children now who do need me here and not in the ground. I will make it out of this for them!! They are innocent. I'm mad at myself for letting it happen like this. Before him, I was so funny, I loved to laugh and make people laugh and smile. I was full of life... and He sucked it right out of me. This is my story... Thank you for this song. Its more than just words to me. It is my life, being sang, beautifully, and shared. Thank you for saying what I couldn't. You are a blessing!! ❤

Is this song about women not wanting to do any hard work ?

My god was that beautiful . Thank you !

Parentified being a mother to my siblings my childhood I feel this song my parents made me do way to much labour at a young age to a choice I didn’t make and now I have to just do it cause of family I hate it now I’m getting asked when I want kids never I already did my child caring years I never want them now and it’s sad I did want them at one point but I wanna live for myself now

I just want to give the lady on the left at about 3:41 or 3:42 the biggest hug.

She’s kind of like Lesley Gore and Helen Reddy.

Woman who run with wolves - P. Estes

I can’t get this song out of my head whenever I have rage. Especially when guys ignore me because they think that they’re smarter. I had a guy in a play we were producing assigned to work with me. He ignored half the stuff I said, did nothing at first, and talked to his friends. Eventually he did something but continued to be on his phone, leaving me to the majority of the work. He continued to complain about doing nothing, but was quick to say he was doing great when I sarcastically said he was doing great. I’m glad I don’t have to work with him anymore.

I GOT S3XUALIZED FOR EATING A BANANA? THOSE BOYS SHOULD FR HEAR THIS SONG

This melody of this song just feels like nostalgia- I think it might be the strings in the back! <3

I'm a guy, I love this song, the father of my older sister was abusive, I wish I could scream this song in his face cuz he made my moms and sisters life hell (this was when my sister/halfsister however you wanna call her was a kid, she's 31 now so it was more than 15 years ago definetly, I'm glad my mom got out of that relationship) I'm 15 and I am glad that I never knew him and had a different father edit: typo

I was parentified from a young age, and gave up a college scholarship to work and take care of my family, in an abusive, dysfunctional household. When I met my ex husband, I was desperate for care and love. He was 20 years older than me, seemed safe, kind, and stable. As soon as I got pregnant, the lovebombing stopped. He did less and less, hid his alcoholism less and less, and stopped working altogether. He manipulated me into feeling grateful for being “saved” from my family situation. Isolated me from friends and family. Refused to teach me to drive. Kept me exhausted and working overtime to support us, while he took my pay, and made me beg for my money for simple things. All the bills in his name. I did all the household labor, all the financial labor, all the parenting. I ran for my life after ten years of exhausted misery, and had to build up a life from nothing, with no credit, no driver’s license. Thank god I’m tenacious. I was able to get my nursing degree, and reconnect with my family. Today I’m in a beautiful relationship with a man that would never grind me down like that, and more importantly, I would never allow it. This song feels like an anthem.

You can analyze this song to death but, the bottom line is, Women are tired of being treated like a slave- especially in marriage or live in relationships. Women are tired of being gaslighted constantly and being abused in every way. Women are tired of not being valued and tired of being disrespected.

This is SO powerful! 🥲❤

This is a song I would sing to my paternal grandfather, if he was alive. But, I can sing it to my maternal grandmother as well since she belittles my mother way too much

Relate

I dropped my kids off at school once and the female principal said to me “oh hey Christina” while he turned to the male chiropractor and said “Good morning, doctor!” I am an actual doctor. This is how brainwashed females in this society have been.

This is the best thing I've EVER heard

Rise of the Amazones 💃✊🏾

My gawwd I love this song

4/23/24 - Wore a tight purple shirt, and a white skirt. Reaction's from people? One of the most respectful men in my classes couldn't look at me without looking at my breasts. Was slutshamed by a female schoolmate (older than me, i don't even know her) 4/24/24 - Wore a white t-shirt, leggings, an bow earrings made out of pearls. Reactions? Most were calm, until 2 boys in my class (including the on mentioned above) told me they looked like penises. 4/25/24- Wore a gray princess cut t-shirt, leggings, and heart earrings. Reactions? None at school, aside from the occasional friendly compliment from my girlies. My stepmom told me I was extremely provacative for having a lower cut shirt. 4/26/24- white cropped tank top, denim skirt, heart earrings. Reactions? Boys, not men, looking at me like an object. My own mother telling me I shouldn't wear that around my dad since he wouldn't like it. Not to mention the sexual and suggestive remarks/jokes made throughout the school year. The day humanity was doomed was the day we began to see bodies as sexual rather than the highest form of purity. Oh, and for context? I'm 14.

This song helped me realize I was dating an emotionally abusive narcissist. Broke up with him recently and saved myself from more pain and misery. This song helped me fight for myself. I'm grateful this song exists, this artist exists, otherwise I would have never realized my worth and that I would rather be alone than be treated poorly and taken for granted ever again.

Yes you really have! All of your music is so wonderfully true and raw to the life that we as women and people lead. It's inspirational and I sincerely hope it passes through to all of the following generations!

2:23 the Coleta peas in my eyes are bursting if our love ended would that be the worst thing?

I am fucking tired then I can’t even go to a hospital a psych ward or even unalive myself cuz I will be a bad mom and ungrateful person I don’t kno this is just bringing out my tears but I don’t I am sorry for writing all this sorry

Thanks for reminding I am not just here to be a slave to take care of kids clean help me with what he wants no one cares about what the hell I wanna do I didn’t even go to college for what I wanted because my father said no I am 35 I don’t even kno who I am I am tired I am happy to be a mom and a wife and I do appreciate them letting me stay home but it’s like damn why don’t why I do count for anything why can’t he do something am I wrong ? I don’t kno I just sometimes feel like maybe I should be more grateful but then I want I don’t even kno

I love this song.

A war chant.

As a man i absolutely fear for anyone to be oppressed like my mum, to have her constantly working for 20 years to serve my tyrant father day and night and expected to do it with efficiency everyday without delay. And at the end of time she gets nothing but criticism and hate and literally no praise or acknowledgement, he does that to her and i, but am not the one taking it the hardest and i already break. All power to my mum for being her she deserves better because she is herself and thats enough. I hope one day nobody ever goes through oppression and cruelty❤

That's the definition of art!

The edit at 2:28. What's the user for it?

Extraordinarily beautiful

Love everything about this, her voice, the song, the dress, the surroundings… everything ❤

I want to make a point: yes, this song is for women, but I would like to say it's also for certain men or platonic relationships like with parents, just without the "baby machine" or sexual/romantic parts. You can tell me if you disagree, if I upset anyone, sorry, I just wanted to say that.

This is so incredibly wonderful, beautiful and powerful ❤️‍🔥

The Ash Princess series by Laura Sebastian and the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. Both are young adult series but the trials the heroines experience always make me think of this song. If you don't know what I'm talking about reread the first book of each series with this song in mind. The evolution of the story is the heroine escaping the song so it can be easy to overlook but the beginning is a dead ringer.

GORGEOUS

I notice that I am beyond lucky to not relate to this from personal experience. So all I can say is that whoever reads this: I am beyond proud of you, whether you're out, still in the pain, or trying to get away. Every single one of you are the strongest person, and I applaud of you for being here today. I believe in every single one of you, and I will constantly wish for you to finds peace <3

Seeing women of all ages, all races, all cultures, all styles, singing this, and feeling the exact same thing. Grief and rage. It's beautiful in such a haunting way, and I love it.

Another one: "Please Look After Mother"

If i could SCREAM this at my grandfather, who is responsible for so much generational trauma, i would love that

I’ll never not cry to this song♥️

ayyy cellos are getting some love

One book that is both highly informative and so infuriating is 'Vagina Obscura' I definitely recommend it!
