From a 2019 prespective, it is hard to understand how revolutionary a badass women in leather playing her own instruments was in 1973.

Nirvana's "Polly" written by feminist Kurt Cobain was is about an actual incident of kidnapping rape and torture

Song protesting genital mutilation and women who enable it

Quote:

Douglas himself admitted that the song has nothing to do with dogs and actually has a feminist theme. In an interview that was published on his website, he said: "It's a man-bashing song. I'll tell you why. The lyric of the song says, 'The party was nice, the party was pumpin'.' When I said the word 'party' I was being metaphorical. It really means things were going great. The 'Yippie-Yi-Yo,' that's everybody's happy, right? 'And everybody was having a ball.' Life was going great. 'Until the men start the name-callin' / And then the girls respond to the call.' So the men started calling the women 'skank' and 'skettel,' every dirty word you can think of. The men started the name-calling and then the girls respond to the call. And then a woman shouts out, 'Who let the dogs out?' And we start calling men dogs. It was really a man-bashing song.

The song's title character is a transvestite whose strange hobby is stealing women's clothes and undergarments from washing lines
