She was the only one that had her own voice, that’s female empowerment for you. Sooty had to rub his nose into earwax and sweep had swallowed a kazoo and no bastard thought to remove it.

That song, whenever I hear it I’m back in our local sticky floor nightclub that unfortunately died a death a few years ago.

They played it to absolute fucking death but maaan, the ladies would flock onto the dance floor to do their best Christina impression.

Exactly! She set a president that it's ok for girls to be shamelessly sexy! "Can't hold us down" is blooming brilliant:

So what am I not supposed to have an opinion

Should I keep quiet just because I'm a women

Call me a bitch cause I speak what's on my mind

Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled

When I was a kid I remember lots of the girls being inspired ( had posters and trying to emulate)by

The bionic woman.

Too a lesser degree wonder woman.

Kate Bush is a good example of an inspirational woman who did her own thing.

But I am not a woman so couldn't say if they inspired me only saw what my sister's liked

I’ve got a crop with a silver knob on the end (there’s a song or a joke in there somewhere). It doesn’t make you tell the truth, just scream “nutmeg” at the top of your lungs (doesn’t work, standard safe word is cinnamon, not my fault they keep getting their spices wrong)

When I was a kid I watched TV series about Maria Sklodowska-Curie. I'm not sure if I ever lived the life similar to her, sacrificing everything for the science goal and her research, but when I undertake something, I always try to be 100% committed.

My history teacher - she painted the stories of centuries ago with her imagination and amazing knowledge. She was also looking after my class for 4 years and she tried to teach us to never shy away from trying new challenges, set the bar high and brave it. I miss her. She passed away from cancer years ago.

Such a sad theme tune, the old wobbly walls and hair pulling violence, shocking. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a female Australian convict.
