that was a quote from the bandmember, Bianca. Also, if you look at other songs and research what this band is about, it would be very hard to presume that this song isn't satirical or that it is unfeminist. I'm also sure she does not want to be a housewife. I don't understand why "black eye" "I'd rather die a housewife" and do everything just for an "engagement ring" isn't more disgusting to people. |

"My sexuality is explored in my work," Bianca said, "[but it's] more my gender than my sexual preference. It's really not about being gay or ungay, it's about being yourself in a patriarchal, heterocentric, heteronormative, monotheistic world. It's always the changing question and answer, and it's the forefront of my work." |

Ok, if you do just a little research, you will understand that this song is most DEFINITELY a criticism of patriarchy and the twisted acceptance of disgusting behaviors from men just for an engagement ring. Research what this band is about and look at their other songs. Quote from one of the bandmembers, Bianca:
"My sexuality is explored in my work," Bianca said, "[but it's] more my gender than my sexual preference. It's really not about being gay or ungay, it's about being yourself in a patriarchal, heterocentric, heteronormative, monotheistic world. It's always the changing question and answer, and it's the forefront of my work." |
