I resent songs sung by men about all the things they would buy me if I was their girl.

I was taught from a young age to be self- reliant. I’ve had a job since I was thirteen. Why would I need you to buy me something? What could you possibly buy me that I would want that I can’t afford myself? And then you have songs about women who expect men to buy them things. I really don’t expect you to buy me anything and I will be deeply uncomfortable if you do. Where’s the song, sung by a girl, that goes “I don’t mind splitting the bill/ We both work hard for our money/ I don’t see why you’d pay for me/ Is it my birthday?”. That would be my song. But with more rhyming. It’s got to rhyme or I won’t listen to it.

Fun Fact:  Searching “Songs about men who buy women things” on the internet will not yield you successful results. Apparently those aren’t the kinds of songs the public is actively seeking out. Least not according to Google.
