I stand corrected, then. It's just that when I was growing up, it was mainly male artists I heard on the radio. How arrogant of me to assume that that was the case everywhere!

My problem isn't with female empowerment songs. Every once and a while, they're okay.
It's just the overload that I've been getting is cheap and played-out.
Tawdry. Tasteless. Unpleasant. Janky. Garish. Insincere. Meretricious. Ratchet.
Need I go on?
And to make matters worse, the cheesy female empowerment anthems having nothing to do with the music industry at large.
It's all about "girl, do you." "Shawty got her own." "My chick can do this and that and that over there too."
So I don't know what you're talking about.
The power of a thesaurus!
So, I guess what you're saying is that you hate the overload of female empowerment anthems by women
as well as men?

That's funny...I haven't seen Beyonce running much of anything in a long time...

Now, even
you've gotta admit that that was a low blow!

But Bey will be back to wig-snatching form her next era. No doubt about it.

Recently, though, females have been dominating the charts. Compare the success of Taylor, Rihanna, Katy, and Gaga over the past 3-4 years with their male contemporaries. There's a stark difference.
