Feminist or FemMANist? - You Decide

Top 10 You Tube Videos for Feminists

After reading "Feminsim or FemMANism" that claimed feminist woman wanted to be men I started thinking about what was called "The Women's Liberation Movement". Man hurled the word "woman libber" at any female that darest say: I am a human being not a piece of property to be used, abused and discarded when a man finds a look-alike younger replacement for her. Women libbers were considered vile things. It is sad to me to hear a young woman today following men's lead in dissing females. The article's author offered up her twisted logic that claims feminist woman want to deny their gender and be men.

Thus a list of the top 10 You Tube videos featuring strong liberated females was born. Feminst or FemMANist? You decide.

Tied for number 10 are:

#10 Leslie Gore -"You Don't Own Me"
A pop 1960s female star, Ms. Gore sang about typical teenage girl issues: boys and heartbreak. With this song she expressed a girl's desire to freely speak her mind and to not be objectified by being displayed like a prized piece of art.

#10 Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys -"Different Drum"
It has always been acceptable for men to "sow their wild oats" before marriage. This song expresses a girl's desire to grow mature before settling down with a boy "who wants to love only me". Linda went solo building a successful musical career with a diverse selection of hits. She is known for political activism as well her music, which included romantic love ballads with different male singers.

#9 Aretha Franklin covering Sly Stone's"Everyday People".
Aretha popped into the pop music scene in the 1960's telling men what women want with her song "Respect". She never made tabloid headlines about her latest diet and effort to lose weight. She was comfortable with her appearance which is an inspiration for all females to stop trying to conform to a Hollywood standard of the "perfect" female body. Everyday people come in all sizes, shapes and colors. So do feminist women.
