Because she totally didn't write this song to inspire young impressionable girls to stand for themselves and be independent! Nope! Because all song lyrics written from a first-person perspective should be taken at face value and can only represent the feelings of the artist!

Sigh. Most music fans tend to put themselves in the shoes of the artist when it comes to lyrics like these. They're written in a way that allows a person to relate to it directly so that when they sing it aloud or even think about it, they can find encouragement or inspiration. THAT'S ALL IT IS. Seriously. Pink isn't saying that every girl that's not her fucking sucks. She just writes songs in a way to entice strong feelings and relate directly to the listener. A superficial pop star would not sing about how great it is to be able to pay the rent and have a job. Only somebody that really understands their audience would do that.

And another thing, you don't have to be a female to find Pink's songs empowering just because they're generally about "GURL POWER YEEEAHHH!!" The only way I could see anybody being offended by these lyrics is if they themselves were "money-grubbers". How on earth is congratulating yourself on being independent and stable a bad thing?

Because she's stereotyping and denigrating women as a whole in order to do so.

Pretttttty straightforward how that's problematic, I should think.

Strange, every boyfriend I've ever had has made less money than me, yet I was still offended by the implications a) "every" woman prioritizes money, and b) those who rely on money (or rather, women who rely on men's money) are inferior to those that don't.

Happy to broaden your horizons, anon.
