Status: offline 		Ok so I dont very often get my feminist knickers in a twist but I saw the Miss Independent video by 'Ne-yo' and I actually got a bit frustrated. I may have totally taken it the wrong way but I get this very odd vibe from it, like isnt it cute how women have jobs now, aww bless thats quite sexy really isnt it. So yup now we should all aspire to high powered jobs because men will find that more attractive. What does everyone else think?

I don't know very many women who get all gooey and gushy just cause some smuck smiled and suggested having a drink.  In fact, amongst my close aquaintances, it's generally quite the opposite - they're leary of such overtures, and tend more towards turning it down and going back to their conversation with an eyeroll.  Come to think of it, the only ones I know who Are like that are typically so desperate that they'd take anyone, just so they had Someone - and they aren't in positions of power in any company, their own or someone else's.

No I know, I was attempting to be sarcastic, the implication I got from the song what that is what women are like hense getting my knickers in a twist.

All of the guys I've met who this actually mattered to - that she had her own car, her own house, her own job - were interested in such because they did NOT have their own car, house, or job, and figured if they found a woman who did they could simply use her's.  While that is likely not the case with all guys who want a woman who doesn't need "him" for such - it has been the case in guys that I've personally met who didn't want to be 'needed' for such.  (Yes, I've met far to  many complete and utter Losers in my life.)

A woman doesn't have to drive a jaguar and own a mansion to interest me. Just have to be working towards something. I have a no leech policy.

Status: offline 		I dont see what is so offensive about the song.  Ne-Yo is saying that he wants a woman that can handle herself.  He wants a woman who is doing actual adult things like buying her own house, and car and not depending on anyone else to give her the things she desires in life.  Whats so offensive about a man that wants a woman that can reach her goals, without a man giving her pushes along the way?
