I suppose so, but I don't think it matches the 1990s feminist way of thinking or the debate in general. (what I mean is I don't think it set out to be a 'feminist' anthem).

One of their best songs though.

Written by a man? Really?

It's dated badly in my opinion and comes across as "Hey ladies we know what you are going through and feel your pain"!

I don't see a problem with it. You don't have to be white to be racist, you don't have to be poor to be a socialist, you don't have to be a woman to be a feminist.

Although you do have to be a woman to have a clitoris.

I'll be surprised if nobody's debated whether that's true about The Wire or not...

I think his mangina is just a bottomless chasm. Or a chasm with no bottom.

I prefer not to think about it...

The legs spread picture from the Roses In The Hospital cd still gives me nightmares. Just been lookin for it on google... Why.

Ok. There is no irony whatsoever in a feminist anthem written by a man.

Ah fuck, what have I done... You win.

Correct, because there's nothing barring men from being feminist.

Although, I echo others on that, much as I love this song, it comes across as rather ham fisted and patronising in places.

Ah, for fuck's sake...
