When I saw her live she said she wrote it for her love of feminism. It's definitely a very feminist song - bashing the stories girls grow up listening to, only giving them unrealistic ideals so they're very let down when they find out love and men are not so simple! I really love the way she's twisted the stories round; how good are the lyrics? The line "the tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
would have cut it myself if i knew men could climb hair" is especially clever and funny!
