haha. a year later.. im sorry himp. what you wrote does not make any sense. identity is what most feminists strive for. its not about being male or female, it's about being a person with their very own identity, and to be accepted by everyone for just that. the question itself is a question you could ask anyone: black, white, male, female, islamic, christian; whatever. The woman stumbles over the answer because it is obviously a loaded question, he isn't asking her what she thinks about herself, they are askking her to speak for everybody. i think a lot of feminists believe they are speaking for everybody when they say something that holds true to themselves. i mean god bless them for it (i don't believe in god but the figure of speech holds true) because even you and i are assuming we are saying what everyone else wants to say. None of us are nearly as brilliant as we try to make others think we are. i think this song is saying be brilliant to yourself, and fuck the record company when they ask you to make a song like this
