Lovely Lady Loving Feminists (Happy Feminism!)

(Tamarinda)

Woman

Whoa Man

Whoaaaaa Man

The feminist’s sex, you look perplexed

We’re singing a rock awesome song

 

(All)

Let’s talk about why you’re pissed

So you can become a feminist

So many things will make you pissed

After you become a feminist

 

(Weezie)

Feminism has so many uses

Through three whole waves

We have fought male abuses

 

(Abby)

So when you feel like the only girl

Against the patriarchy

 

(Tamarinda)

Here’s a list of ladies who are feminists

 

(All)

Just like you and me

 

(Abby)

Anne Dalke is one for sure

 

(Tamarinda)

Just give me a couple seconds so I can think of some more

 

(Abby)

If you’re looking for something sexy read Laugh of the Medusa

(All)

Lifting G Stein’s belly is a little too obtuse (and gross/I don’t get it)

(Weezie)

Linda Kauffman might not like this song

She’d say it was personal testimony

 

(All)

and she thinks that is wrong

 

(Weezie)

You may like the ranting of the angry Bell Hooks

(Abby)

Or perhaps you prefer the poetry of Audre Lord and Gwendlein Brook

 

(Tamarinda)

All feminists!

(All)

Let’s talk about why you’re pissed

So you can become a feminist

So many things will make you pissed

After you become a feminist

 

(Abby)

James Sosnoski

 

(All)

Not a chick

 

(Weezie)

But he can still be a feminist

 

(All)

Even with a dick

 

(Abby)

Virginia Woolf wrote three Guinees

(Tamarinda)

Now the question stands

 

(All)

How would you spend your three pennies?

(Weezie)

Ann Dixon keeps serendip awesome

She updates it every day

 

(All)

so we can argue on the forum

 

(Tamarinda)

When we read Octavia Butler

Abby and Weezie didn’t like her

(Weezie)

But you know who everybody loves?

 

(All)

Fucking Susan Stryker

(Abby)

You don’t have to be in English house to debate

(Tamarinda)

In fact, you can live and work in a completely different state

 

(All)

Yeah alums!

We talk about why we’re pissed

That’s why we call ourselves feminists

We’re sorry if there’s something we have missed

We’re still pretty awesome feminists

 

So drink your rum and sour mix

And play a game of pick up sticks

Pour yourself a sierra mist

And read a lady theorist

Open up a bag of chips

And shake your child bearing hips

Anne Dalke would be really pissed

If you weren’t a lovely lady loving feminist
