Truth. It's wild how many people's reactions are to feel personally attacked, when it's not personally about them. But if you feel personally attacked, then I'm concerned that there's a reason.

[@kesatuifua]

I was raised by my very traditional family. I was raised learning to cook, clean, be obedient, never talk back, to be skinny bc I wouldn’t be able to find a husband and understand that boys will be boys, never allowed to go out, not allowed to wear certain things, etc. Now that I’m older, I hate doing anything a man in my family asks of me. This song is my childhood rage

[@JohnnyFoxtrotshow]

Thank you for sharing! I promise I won't ask anything of you 😉🙏🧸

[@Meggish62]

Oh my God, I have that same reaction to being told to do things by the men in my life. It seems like I had a very similar childhood to yours. It’s not simply that being told to do things by men upsets me, it’s being told to do things by a person not willing to share the burden of the labor AND who doesn’t treat us with kindness or respect. It’s heartbreaking and infuriating to be treated that way.

[@gretaholmes783]

I can tell you that year-by-year it feels like it is killing you from the inside. Then, when we escape the Family Court to become more iron fisted every year. After my case, they started putting the children into "reunification camps" to forced to go live with their fathers. It wouldn't be so bad if the yfather wasn't making them perform "favors" for them. The camp couldn't be any worse if they were giving him lessons on how to be better at it. Thank God there are young people on TikTok, calling them out after they grow up and age of it.

[@lindseywaldrop5937]

I nearly married a guy who promised me we'd be equal partners and split the work evenly. He asked if we could bake an apple pie "together" and then pretended he couldn't figure out how to peel an apple. Sat there and watched me do all the work. Man makes 200K plus a year and he can't figure out how to peel an apple?? But I was supposed to quit my job and be a sahm for him. The lines about weaponized incompetence as a form of dominance and control are real. I would have been all the things this song rages about.

Even if women aren't currently dealing with these dynamics, which they are to a certain degree, it's generations of this trauma passed down from mother to daughter.

You are absolutely right about that. It's a societal problem that has been like this since the beginning of time, yet a lot of people think there aren't any reasons that women should "complain". Which we both knew is BS 😂

9:25 "so that he never lifts a finger" that ones meant as, do he doesn't have to do a nothing and domestic violence. And also "it's not an act of love if you make her" is a reference to SA. The lyrics are super touchy and behind every part there's a deeper meaning, great reaction, thank you.

[@gretaholmes783]

Absolutely! Goosebumps. I lived this and the family court system doesn't let you take your children with you anymore! Project 2025 will cement that. I do the same thing with language. I've been following Nick Fuente$ for a while and I made a montage of Nicky way before he even pulled his last disgusting stunt and you're gonna love what I had to say back to that piece of shite--"I may be old but now I know why all the girls wanted Cardi B claws". I said, "the next thing you know pirate patches will be the new registry and everyone will see you coming." It made me feel better & the language was vague enough!

[@Missmori]

the beutiful thing about this song is that EVERY line has like 2-5 different meanings it can have. its so painfully spesific, but also the multiple meanings make it so that its so spesific to each indevidual person.

I have literally just watched 4 reaction videos in a row to this song. (This is # 4) all 4 have been men reacting to it. You have all had good takes, but YOUR reaction was diffrent to all the others for one solid reason: the other 3 ALL tried to say "this is how women have HISTORICALLY been treated" or "SOME relationships have been like this IN THE PAST"... NONE of them could admit to themselves that women are STILL being treated like this more often than than can possibly be imagined. Thank you for being diffrent. ❤

I've seen some pretty decent dude reacts, and then I just watched a react with women who completely missed the mark. I was stunned, honestly.

[@jadieevans9222]

This reaction genuinely means a lot. Like really. I've been binging reactions and most of the guys just don't get it or get immediately defensive. Which I don't understand because if a man doesn't fit this stereotype then obviously we're not talking about him.

[@Belly_Beane]

Most of the men I see reacting to it say “it’s horrible this is how things *used to* be for women” 🫠

[@hivemindgoblin8540]

@@Belly_Beane I’ve noticed that also, and it’s so crazy to me how they can hear this song and have that perspective. Didn’t they have mothers? Sisters? I know (at least in my family) SA/grape/harassment is a conversation we had openly with each other but got hushed when a man would walk in the room. But to some extent these people have to see what’s going on- it’s so visible and blatantly obvious. I just don’t understand.

[@Belly_Beane]

@ idk I kind of think it’s the video set and clothing that tell them this is a thing of the past. Most men I know don’t look too deeply into things, they just say “ok” and move on.

[@hivemindgoblin8540]

@ I was just thinking that as I watched this video as well. I understand her intention I think, like she’s drawing correlation to older times and how nothing has changed- but a lot of people are taking it at face value. Or rather, a lot of men are, because all the women and afab people have experiences with it and understand her intent better. I’d be interested to see more people react to “Labor: the Cacophony” video because it doesn’t have the olden times set and is mostly videos of people today. But since they’re basically the same song people avoid it since they’ve already reacted to this one. I think there’d likely be more understanding with that video.

[@Strawberries1994]

This is much more than just the idealisation of the start of a relationship. This song is about society, patriarchy and misogyny, how men are put by men themselves on pedestal like "men are providers, they are the head of the family, they are more intelligent and better in every aspect and woman are lesser beings" yet we are expected to do triple the work men do plus a lot of stereotypes to follow and if we don't fit into them we are not valuable, we are worth nothing...

I heard this song probably about a year ago. My sister sent me to a reaction video today, which is how I found this video afterwards. I really think you are the only guy doing a reaction video who seems to actually get this song and its harsh realities. This isn’t based on the Middle Ages as some men think, this is the patriarchy that many of us live with in seemingly modern families. I truly appreciate your reaction. Please do crank this song driving. Anyone who appreciates it for what it actually means deserves to do that. By the way, men should not just thank the women in their lives for what they do for them, they should equally share the burden of that labor. That would make a world of difference to us.

One of my favorite parts of the song is the second time when she’s chanting (all day everyday…) 9:18 if you listen you can hear a chorus of children chanting/singing along and I feel like that’s soooo representative of how women and girls are forced to mature from a very young age (far earlier than boys) and how all of these stereotypes are pushed on them even as children

[@FairwishChanzeBreytenbach]

"for somebody I thought was my saviour" this also speaks to the fact that the patriarchy FORCED women to rely on men throughout history, for as long as we know. Not too long ago, women weren't allowed to vote, drive, get a job, speak for themselves or taken seriously. And these are all still exist in certain parts of the world, especially that last part. 200 years ago, if you were an unmarried woman, the townspeople would see that as enough "reason" (or find other trivial "reasons") to burn you at the stake. I really appreciate this reaction ❤ As an AFAB non-binary person, seeing a cis man get so excited about what females have to say, brought me so much joy. I actually teared up. This is my first video from you and I subscribed for it🌺

Your reaction to this song makes me so happy. I can see the respect you have for this song and for women in general. All of us, all of us women are in the same boat of having at least one horrible experience with a male, and seeing your reaction and respect makes us deeply happy. We are a community of different and shared experiences, all women support each other, as they should. Seeing that there are beautiful men like you out there is our hope. You also have an amazing vibe anyway, I could just tell that you’re a great person with a wonderful soul just from the first 5 seconds of the video. 💞 During my childhood, my father used to push on the stereotypes such as: speak when spoken to, no talking back, learn how to cook, clean, laundry work, etc. Things have changed since then, but the fact that he moved on so fast and hasn’t brought it up or given me, my sister and my mother an apology. But when this song was released a few years ago, I could feel that inner rage and anger that I had to stuff down in the depths of my soul. The ending chorus, both of them, I could feel it dig into my bones. I’ve been listening to this song over and over since then. You’re a great person though. Thank you for being so kind.💞

[@sabrinaschroeder844]

I love watching people, especially women, listen to this song for the first time. The play of emotions on their faces is powerful. Everyone recognizes these things instinctually when they hear it and where their position lies obviously dictates where they land at the end, but watching either rage of recognition or the... justification and defensiveness their face settles on, is fascinating.

[@distracted-Heather]

Such an empowering song! Far too many have lived these one sided relationships. Imagine finding someone that reciprocates adoration; Someone that loves your soul; Someone that wants you because of who you are, not what you can do for them. That is the dream.

[@JohnnyFoxtrotshow]

I hope that everyone is able to find that feeling with someone they love. It's so difficult to find, but when you do find it it's important to hold on to each other 💜 I've said it a few times now that despite how some may feel I go about things, I will continue to promote, support, and uplift strong female Artists and overall Women's communities. All I want to do is be supportive. I'm appreciate for people like yourself who appreciate that and for that I'll always appreciate you! 🙏💜🧸

[@darktwistedlady]

This song hit so deep. Every partner I've had, has been unwilling to learn and do an equal part of chores, not to mention the emotional labour. It's tiring to raise grown arse men, even when they are willing. But it's not just partners, it's all the men we encounter who devalue us, don't believe us, call us opinionated, make us feel unsafe, cause us to always look over our sholders, always have this fear inside us that is not anxiety, but based on experience, that men may harm us. I showed the mv to my 25yo nurse and she loves it and thanked me for sharing. And I live in Norway, one of the most egalitarian countries in the world.

[@pumpkinchocrain]

Honestly the thing about her seeing him as a saviour, especially in the theme of the video as well is that even nowadays but especially in the past women's freedom and life was intrinsically dependant on men, their fathers brothers and husbands, society in general, they had no freedom all you could do was pray to be married off to a good man, for them to be your saviour but it's too late either way and hopeless, even in modern times women are still outweighed and drowned out by males

[@thecauldronkeeper4458]

I would like to say that the "for someone who was my savior", i also think that this line does have a double meaning (much like any of the lines in this song). Yes you could see it as men being a knight in shining armor, as many women have called their partner, but also theres the way of looking at it from a traditional sense too. Men are seen as protectors or " saviors" in traditional roles, breadwinners, the big manly men that are there in the threat of danger. You can talk to any man that has that mindset of hes the alpha man who doesnt put of with no sht, hes a protector hes a savior, which is why women should serve him and be obedient in the relationship. That line to me doesnt just set someone on a pedestal (which i agree is a toxic mindset to have because you shouldnt put someone on that pedestal regardless), its also a sarcastic line in my opinion. And this comes from someone who has a "saviour", my husband pulled me from a bad situatuon (granted it wasnt a bad relationship in the sense of a boyfriend hitting me, but still), however he has never made me feel below him. He has always showed me that we are equals, and he shows that in his words but also his actions. We protect eachother, we share responsiblities in house work and child reering, and we both contibute to the relationship. And thats the difference. Again this is just my opinion though and maybe i am reading to much into the line but who knows.

[@m0llygr4ce]

I have seen so many men react to this song and throughout all of them I have noticed the same theme, they listen to hear but not to understand. Many of the men have made reference to the medieval style within the video and stating 'yeah this is what it was like back in the day' but completely missing the fact this is still very much a prominent expectation for women today. These songs shouldn't be fun, they are telling you in plain terms what the experiences and hardships of women are. We are very much expected to do and be everything for the men in our lives whether that be partners or family members just because it makes his life easier and he can then achieve whatever it is he wants to achieve. Men expect things to be done for them at the time they want it done and we get backlash if that expectation and standard isn't met because it means they will then have to do it themselves. More often than not the task is something they themselves can and should do. I have lived through this, so has my mother and grandmother and all the other women in my family. Even though I now live alone I am still expected to fit these roles whenever I visit my family. Men can't seem to understand that even subconsciously they demand women to serve them and bend over backwards for them. The messages in these songs are not for your entertainment, they are to get you to listen and to take seriously because they are very real and damaging. It is not the job of women to change the cycle. Men need to start listening and understanding that they are at the root of it in order for something to really change. They don't want to hear it because it benefits them to have people serve them and make life easier for them which is why it wont stop until men wake up.

Even apart from male centric policy, there are still too many men that are either misogynists, or have had the invalid concept of male superiority passed on to them.

This song has so many layers, I've been reading through the comments and love how people are mentioning their stories for why this song is classified as an "anthem". So, i'm going to break down this song as a writer myself to help bring some clarification as to WHY and HOW this song is an anthem and so powerful. I won't go through some of the stuff already pointed out in the comments but some of the more commonly missed things! The first two lines: Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? These lines showcase her confusion to why he is holding onto her rope when he obviously does not care enough to actually hold on. She is dangling there reliant on him holding her up but he doesn't show WHY he is even holding on. Two lines at different times: And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting Apologies from my tongue, and never yours These I believe work together, she has to apologize whenever she says something negative meanwhile he can say whatever he likes without consequences. He berates her work (referring to the line before the first one) but expects either praise or no negative feed back to his. Shows that she "isn't doing her job" even when she is working her butt off and bending over backwards to support his lifestyle. I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise These lines show that she did KNOWS he knows what he is doing to their relationship, enough to repeat part of it. She also recognizes signs of narcissism as he uses his incompetence to dominate her. Refers to gaslighting. If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her She shows fear that her daughter will end up in a similar situation but be unable to get out as she would have learned from the father that it is "normal". This is seen a lot in these kind of homes and lifes where the kids are stuck and unable to break out of what they know as normal and so they pick up the same habits and such. So that he never lifts a finger This refers not physically beating her, helping her around the home, and can even go to pleasuring in the bedroom. You can get the idea. The common reference is that, due to the lines before it to gives a lot more reference, she has to do all these things so that he won't physically hurt her. That's the majority of it. Hopefully this can help break the song down more. I tried to get into details without going off on tangents but feel free to ask for more detailed info into my thoughts if you'd like more!

[@JohnnyFoxtrotshow]

Thank you for sharing friend. I've actually listened to this song QUITE a bit since this reaction. Through listening to it and reading the comments provided by so many I've learned SO much more and would have SO much more to say this time around. I do like that you have basically touched on everything I did not mention in my video. This was a song where I do think that maybe I should react to the "alternative" version because I DO have that further perspective. IDK you let me know what you think I should do 🙏💜🧸

[@kiriscott5791]

@@JohnnyFoxtrotshow I definitely think it would be worth it to dive into the alternative! The history of these kinds of songs are also fascinating on their own. I recommend, if you're ok with some darker themes, an old song called Strange Fruit. It's older but it has some hidden meanings. Looking forward to seeing your next posts! If you want some more modern music with some great lyrics I recommend checking out BTS! They have a lot of great messages in their music!

Something I've never seen anyone react to that are heavy female themes: Voicemail for Jill from Amanda Palmer and her other song Mr. Weinstien Will See You Now. HEAVY themes.

[@rgg6383]

Well, I feel a little less weird for listening to this song as a guy now. It's not only a banger, but it's a very important song. This does make me think, "Have I done this? Do I do these things?" and I don't think so, at least not as a pattern, but I still think it's important to take those moments to evaluate your own behavior as a man. I've been single for over a year because our priorities were very different, and I feel very weird listening to these types of song. My favorite band is Soda Blonde, and a lot of their lyrics have feminist topics because the singer writes most of the songs, and I am grateful for those songs because it makes me question my own behavior, but I also feel like I'm not the target audience and feel like an impostor. Feels very weird talking about these topics as a guy, I'm a little afraid of coming off as wanting brownie points

[@JohnnyFoxtrotshow]

Thank you for sharing friend. I don't think it's wrong if your heart is in the right place. There is always room for improvement as I learn with each and every video I react with these sort of messages. I believe that you are right in that more men should be comfortable enough with themselves with self-reflection that is generated from Women in Music and Every other aspect of life for that matter.

I would second the comments to listen to the Cacophany version -- not even a reaction, just for yourself. If you think this version rocked, that one is even better honestly. BTW -- this was my first reaction of yours. Seen you've reacted to Kalandra and will go to that next, and also subscribed!

@@JohnnyFoxtrotshow Ohhhh, there are so many things I'd love to see you react to, but it has to be Bardaginn by Kalandra.

[@lonesapphire]

Loved this reaction! This week was rough and I spent a good portion of it being yelled at by my dad who is convinced these issues no longer exist. Thankfully I'm in a wonderful, supportive marriage but was raised by an alcoholic abusive father who treated my mother terribly. He's tried to improve over the years but he still has a long way to go. He thinks women are dramatic, useful idiots so this hit me hard. Especially the part about not being able to save a daughter. My mom fought for me and it still damaged me. But my daughter won't suffer this. Not from her dad anyway. 🩷

[@JohnnyFoxtrotshow]

Thank you so much for sharing 🙏 I'm very happy to hear that you're doing well and that your daughter won't experience the same tragedies that unfortunately her mother and grandmother have. You are very brave! I really enjoyed reading your comment my friend 🙏💜🧸

[@zuzu6864]

My mom went through this as well, though my grandfather never drank. Even to this day, he is extremely old school and him and my grandma both believe in the 'traditional' marriage. I've been called 'useless, worthless woman' by him many times when I refused to do things he told me to do. He also didn't allow my mom to do anything until she was an adult, like go out, have a boyfriend, etc. while he let his other two sons do everything. My mom did the exact opposite with me and my brother, which ig is a good thing. He pretty much drove the entire family apart, and my uncle, who went no contact with him 20 years ago, said that the first family reunion we're gonna have is at his funeral. He doesn't associate with the rest of the family, tho he still talks to us. It mustn't have been easy for your, but your kids are gonna appreciate it.❤️

I might not be the demographic of her music but my god she is incredible, we live in a time where so many artists like Sabrina Carpenter or Taylor Swift sing about boys, jealousy, etc but then you have Paris Paloma who makes a powerful statement with a voice of an angel with so much power in that voice, the way she can speak how the incredible women feel and they are finally seen, Labor is about in my opinion how there are horrible men in this world who treat the women in their life like utter crap and instead of a human being and how when the women are free from the men she was with is free from his grasp. I love Paris Palmoa I will choose her over so many female musical artists I'm sorry she is too powerful and amazing. Hozier is the god and she is the angel.

I want to point out some symbolism that I think you missed and isn't mentioned in the comments. The first bit of food she picks up and rips into is a pomegranate. They have long been a symbol of " life, rebirth, eternal life, fertility, marriage, abundance/plenty".

How outrageous do men feel that women are now holding men to a standard? And they wonder why women are choosing not to have babies. Until my husband, I have never felt the need to submit to any man.

I don't feel like you really get it, it comes across as you blaming the woman for expecting too much of the man (knight in shining armor) and then being disappointed or something. That's not at all what I'm getting from the song but ok.

[@JohnnyFoxtrotshow]

@@orfamayQ how so?

[@orfamayQ]

@@JohnnyFoxtrotshow In the first part, when you refer to "I thought was my savior" as "knight in shining armor" and how women expect too much from men. I think that is too much towards blaming the victim in this situation. This is just one word in a very loaded and powerful song, possibly in there mostly because it rhymes to "labour". This is really not what the song is about. Also the expectation that a woman needs a "savior" is also a toxic part of the patriarchy, that is not the women's fault, it is taught to them in Disney movies and Hollywood films, it is part of the oppression that the song is decrying. It feels iffy to shift the focus to how women are making a mistake and then find themselves in indentured servitude, like they should have known better.

[@JohnnyFoxtrotshow]

@orfamayQ can I ask if you watched the whole video? I tried to explain exactly what you said with that not being a good and or healthy thing to do referring to the savior comment. I promise you I'm not trying to argue, just trying to understand better because my intention was to be an ally so I appreciate the feedback

[@orfamayQ]

​@@JohnnyFoxtrotshow Thank you for being so kind! The thing that annoyed me was that it sort of sounded like the woman was at fault for expecting a savior, which of course is a bad thing that would not work out in real life. But focusing on that distracts from the root of that problem, that this myth is sold to little girls constantly and many don't really have a chance to know any better. It is more problematic that these narratives are dominant in our society to begin with. The cause for that is patriarchy. I'm sure we agree on that, it is probably just a matter of how to word it so that the focus is shifted back to the source. I normally wouldn't protest the notion that women and people in general shouldn't try so see their s.o. as "savior", it's just in the context of this powerful song that is about all the things that are expected from women and are burdened on women that I don't want to hear about something that kind of feel like yet another thing that women should or shouldn't do. I have watched a couple of reactions to the same song and most were men, it's really interesting that not one seemed to "get" it in the same way that women seem to "get it". The one young lady I saw said immediately "that is my grandmother" and I really believe that is what makes it so powerful, it is all of our grandmothers, mothers and to an extend ourselves. Things have gotten much better, but we still remember, and we are not there yet, that women really have equal rights and worth as human beings (non-binary and trans people even more, not to exclude them). I think it is wonderful that songs like this are creating new narratives and help women to find words for their experiences (in the sense of hermeneutical gaps being closed). Thank you for listening!

[@DofNE99]

Another great song with lots to think about again. Obviously I don’t know the sort of guys you hang around with, but it feels like you are stereotyping us all as Neanderthals who constantly try to keep women down. As with most things in life it’s not a sharply defined subject, there are extremes, but the (usually silent) majority fall into the middle ground of respecting each other and getting on with their lives. Certainly that’s the case with the vast majority of people in my life, although, obviously, there’s the caveat that anyone with those extreme views wouldn’t like me anyway!!!

Unfortunately, the points I brought up are A lot more of a concern than it may be it most people's lives. For however big anyone's circle may be, there are a lot more people outside of that circle of people you choose to consistently put yourself around.
