Dan DeLuca has a great article in the Philadephia Inquirer, on the dominance of the revenge narrative in pop music by women.

The cultural predominance of the female revenge narrative came up continually in my class on women and pop last semester, and it seems to be a trend that emerges every few years or so– enough that it might be time to think about when the theme makes it big comebacks, over and beyond its status as a trend.

Also, I can’t help but wonder if this fits as a different take on “x like a girl“? And if it relates to the question of feral women, particularly à la girls gone wilding and the men without hair.

“The Estrogen Bomb” from the Guerrilla Girls:

Is there such a thing as ‘female power’? Is power always ‘power’?
