On top of it, her lyrics are, "don't call *me*..." not "don't call *women*..."
She seems to be referring to a specific person, so I'm not really sure what the song has to do with feminism.
Yeah it isn't obliquely making a political stance. But I figured it would rub a few the wrong way and give me another chance to understand the current anti-feminism I frequently see come up in atheist circles. (Maybe it comes up everywhere but I just hang out in atheist circles?) Certainly there has been enough progress made that a shrill feminist is not likely to get a lot of support. Never cared for the shrill ones personally anyway. Anyone remember Andrea Dworkin? *shudders*
Also, yeah, I'm not very fond of Andrea Dworkin. Even though I'm not really into it, I see nothing wrong with porn.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
