Martha Wash really made this song. Her voice was a mix of power, agility and stamina. She is one of the most underrated vocalists in the game who has been praised by everyone from Elton John to Whitney Houston. Her dance music of the 90s in particular her debut solo album is still killer and deserves far more acknowledgement.

There is a "Female Gaze," but it gets confused with being "Easy." Women want to choose their guy and having a big selection is kind of like sexual heaven. That's what the Weather Girls were singing about. You hear "It's Raining Men" at ladies who love ladies nights a lot too because it is really about being able to choose who you are taking home, and not having to settle for your third choice.
@ruminationstation42002 жыл бұрын
...its a song literally written by 2 men. It's a projection of the assumption of how women view the world, but it's in no way shape or form a reflection of the female gaze seeing as how it wasn't written by women. It's a male written song about a promiscuous woman, which is why Donna Summer got offended cause she was tired of being the sex lady. It's literally just an inversion of the male gaze with some women performers slapped on top. I love the song, don't get me wrong. But I connect it a lot more with PRIDE than feminism, other than being performed by some bad ass ladies, it's really not a women's song.

"we don't wanna know you have hair" is how he put it. grow up, you baby! or, this guy once told me "women don't fart, they parp" was all i could do not to laugh, but he was deadly serious. had to call it something else just to mentally process it, probably imagined it somehow smelling not as bad too. like holy shit, some of the mental acrobatics just to keep up this weird fiction of us being some kind of other species or something. ridiculous. wouldn't surprize me if guys jumping to the conclusion that women are incapable of overt lust comes from a similar place. like, that'd be too human or something. we're not people, we're porcelain angels, right? magical purity vessels from heaven, innocent and weak. gah! hate it. what a load of old bollocks. anyway, good to get that rant out of my system, lol. annoying is right. who the hell goes around assuming limits to sexuality anyway, like how does that make any sense? there aren't any limits. doesn't matter who it is, you can't tell before you've met them. there's no way. i've probably overstated this a bit. it's not often you see it being talked about.

The idea of having a child suddenly can kind of curtail the desire for wanting frequent partners, at least that's why I personally would rather have a "man" than "men", lol. Yes, it takes two to tango, but we all know the stories of guys leaving and maybe paying child support, which is paltry compared to the actual cost of raising a child. So that too can add to why women are brought up differently or may behave differently about sex.
