OK so Marina and the Diamonds is one of my all time favorite artists. Her catchy, girly, pop tunes are full of relatable lyrics and female empowerment. Her newest album titled "FROOT" and contains songs that celebrate her independence and freedoms. One line from her song "Can't Pin Me Down" is "Do you really want me to write a feminist anthem? I'm happy cooking dinner in the kitchen for my husband"
I think that these lyrics exemplify her identity as a feminist. Her purpose in writing these lyrics is to prove that as a feminist and a woman, she can make decisions for herself even if they don't classify as typical "feminist behavior." As a woman she has the ability make whatever decision she wants regarding her identity and see herself equal to men obviously. After all, feminism is about equality and not superiority.
Side note: Olivia knew this was the topic for my post before she did hers and she admits to copying it :-)
Thanks for the vicarious confessional, Olivia. ;)
