Sisters are doin´ it for themselves by Mariia Shchelkova https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality What do you think about this song? Is it anti-men? Why/Why not? Sum up the message of the song in a few words. en-us 2018-11-22 08:11:52 UTC 2018-11-27 10:14:36 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lightdecrease.png https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/307197905 I think the song is necessary for the society because it empowers women to participate more in the shaping of it. I don't really think that the song is anti-men because there were no lyrics insulting men and the message is all about the empowerment of women. The praise of one sex should not be interpreted as disrespect or indignity for the other one.
All in all, the message is for women not to be afraid to step up for themselves.

It says that women can be independent and do whatever they like, even if for example some positions (doctors etc.) are not favoured by men. https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/307198171 2018-11-23 08:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/307198171 https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/307198208 This song was encouraging women to come out of the kitchen and stop being just casual housewifes. It wasn’t anti-men necause there was a line “men still love their women” or something like that.

Its message was to encourage women to take action.

I don‘t think it was anti-men rather than just pro-women as it encourages women to take matters into their own hands and not relay too much on men. https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/307198270 2018-11-23 08:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/307198270 https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/307198277 Not rlly, it just wants to empower women etc..🌈🌈🌈 ]]> 2018-11-23 08:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/307198277 https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/307766506 The message was, that women are no longer unimportant and they have to be courageous. The video showed women being together and thinking on their own, not influenced by men.  However, this was not an anti-men song. The point was rather equality for men and women and no discrimination between sexes.]]> 2018-11-26 13:59:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/307766506 Yes! liisi_tooming https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/307787939 The song is incredibly uplifting and empowering. It's also written in a positive way.
It is definitely not anti-men, as it says in the song, that relationships between the two genders shouldn't change. What should be changed, is seeing the women as a weaker sex. The song also wants break stereotypes  regarding females. We should not stay in the kitchen and we are capable of doing the exact same things as men!

To my mind the function of the tune is simply to empower women of all walks of life and to break stereotypes regarding women, not to belittle and degrade men. It is explicitly sung that ''Behind every great man; there had to be a great woman'', which has quite often been the case throughout history, my favourite example being the prominent American President Franklin D. Roosevelt who always listened and took heed of her wife's, Eleanor's, advice. The song is purely a celebration of women.]]> 2018-11-26 15:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/307813305 tuuling_alexandra4 https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/307892153 The song “Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves” isn't one of my personal favourites, but I like the message it portrays. In my view, it isn't anti-men; instead of putting women on a pedestal and belittling men, the song showcases the independence and capabilities of women, encouraging them to “do it for themselves”. At the end of the song, it is also said that men and women still love each other all the same. In other words, both genders should and can have the same opportunities, e.g., career-wise, without their relationship being affected negatively.]]> 2018-11-26 17:01:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/307892153 The song encourages women to stand up for themselves and do what they want because they can. A woman should not stay in kitchen and only be seen as someone who serves her husband. Also the song isn't anti-men for there is said that there is still love between a man and a woman as it always has been and this shouldn't change if a woman is doing something for herself. More important is equality, doing what you desire and love between two people.

It motivates and encourages women to take part in changing the society. I don't think that it is anti-men, because there isn't any signs of such attidude or behaviour in this song. In the lyrics of the song it is also said that man and woman still love eachother.

Although, i personally think, that this song has a powerful meaning behind the words and encourages women to take more action. For example the line: "We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too" expresses, that there's no such job that women can't do. I do not think, that the song is anti-men, but it definitely says, that men shouldn't leave women behind. Everyone has the right to self-actualization regardless of his/her gender.]]> 2018-11-26 20:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/308012979 maris_kiel99 https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/308039703 From my point of view, the song is about women, who should definitely have the same rights and choices about their education and life as men have. The song itself encourages the woman to speak up and fight for themselves. Although the song is quite feminist, it's not anti-men. Maybe some may still get the feels, cause it's unusual, specifically during the time the song was released, that women would make such kind of statements. However, to my mind, it should be only seen positively and everyone should accept the fact, that both genders have the same equality. ]]> 2018-11-26 21:38:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/308039703 l_m_viilup https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/308131994 "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves" encourages women to stand up for their rights. The song is quite feminine, but not too extreme, it doesn't claim that men are not important. I find it really catchy and it has a good rhythm, but it doesn't belong to one of my favorites.]]> 2018-11-27 06:41:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/308131994 The song itself brings out that women had also a big part in our history as well. Brings out the fact that men and women are both equal. It doesn't mean that the song is anti-men. I found the sound of the song quite interesting to listen to. And the combination of lyrics and sound made it more fascinating. https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/308180727 2018-11-27 10:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/308180727 https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/308180896 Well I’d say that the message of the song is to encourage women not to be so dependent on social norms of the time. Both genders should be able to do what they want with their only life in this world. The song provoked a conversation and did it in a good way as it didn’t crucify men. -Enriko 🌈🌈🌈🌈]]> 2018-11-27 10:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/308180896 https://padlet.com/sky_lark/fightingforequality/wish/308182344 I’m not a big fan of this song but you can’t deny that this song is quite catchy, no doubt about that. The message of this song is to motivate and encourage woman to stand up for their rights. This song is not anti-men, nothing bad or something against men was said. This song is all about equality between men and women.
