Taylor Swift's "The Man" song and music video is such a beautiful middle finger to the sexist establishment.
But I particularly what she says to her male alter-ego at the end: “Pretty good. Could you try to be sexier, maybe more likable this time?” 😏

For those who complain about how many guys she's dated:
"I would be complex
I would be cool
They'd say I played the field before I found someone to commit to
And that would be ok
For me to do
Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you."

For those who never question a man's inflated claims:
"I'd be a fearless leader
I'd be an alpha type
When everyone believes ya
What's that like?
I'm so sick of running as fast I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker
If I was a man"

"They'd say I hustled
Put in the work
They wouldn't shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve
What I was wearing
If I was rude
Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves?"

"What's it like to brag about
Raking in dollars
And getting bitches and models
And it's all good if you're bad
And it's okay if you're mad
If I was out flashing my dollars
I'd be a bitch, not a baller
They paint me out to be bad
So it's okay that I'm mad"

The more I hear Taylor Swift's lyrics, the more I like her. She's a writer and a storyteller.
And I'm so mad that I ever let sexist narratives (and lies) about her keep me from digging into her work. Another song you should listen to on a similar theme:
