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!

No, it's not one of the most iconic female empowerment songs . but it definitely deserves to be.
America is doomed!

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.

Not iconic, but should be, it's one of her best songs, the MV is the best Xtina MV so far and it's super unapologetic and sassy.

Not really, but I love the strong message behind it.
Simply me.

Still Dirrty is also another one of her great female empowerment songs btw.
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.

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.

It's definitely iconic. I remember all the attention and controversy it had when it came out. It's definitely the go to song for females rights. May I add Christina looked hot in the video as well.

That song is not iconic. Hey guess what everyone knew the words to Chris Brown's Run It" at my 2005 high school reunion! I guess its one of the most iconic songs ever.
