I was at the Women's March today here in LA, and they were blasting it multiple times today. Everyone knew the words and were chanting it while it was playing. I personally forgot about the song, but I guess it showed that it had some impact today. Forgot how much of a bop it was. Xtine went off!

Iconic no, but it's one if my faves from her. Still Dirrty is also another one of her great female empowerment songs btw. She dragged these flop ass men for filth AND the flop ass women who internalize misogyny. Her best work is when she's preaching about something she's passionate of IMO.

How is Dirrty a female empowerment song? Please most female popstars have songs where they own their sexuality, that is something great, but calling it a female empowering song is an overstatement, the lyrics are not about female empowerment.

It's one of the best female empowerment songs of all time in my opinion. The lyrics are fvcking TRUTH and unfortunately it still applies to the modern age.
It's also one of the more subtle diss tracks I've ever heard from a popstar. She dragged Feminem for filth.
