FabSwingers.com forum: International Women’s Day Tunes

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

This years theme is ‘Choose to Challenge’. To call out gender bias and inequality. To celebrate women’s achievements.

Let’s celebrate women with some cracking tunes. About women, by women, for women.

Go on fabbers, you know you want to.

Neneh Cherry - Woman

Flawless - Beyonce

Especially apt for here because of the epic words of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

"We raise girls to see each other as competitors

Not for jobs or for accomplishments

Which I think can be a good thing

But for the attention of men".
