I just heard on a podcast that the woke think that the past, the 60's and 70's was a sort of Saudi Arabia, when in fact women and this kind of messaging wasn't nearly as revolutionary as people imagine. I am not saying there hasn't been an improvement curve but it's a little mythological. It's the same energy as K.Harris being Vice President is treated as groundbreaking/stunning, but, for example, C.Rice at Secretary of State, which probably holds more actual power as an office, is sort of background noise, forgotten about. I am no Republican, I am from Scotland, but it's interesting to note it suits the messaging more of this holy struggle through the decades to imagine an exaggerated image of the past. This song was written by men indeed. Not cause he was part of some cabal. Not because it was so revolutionary in that era as you have been lead to believe. If you imagine the past as a much less heated period than in your head, this song is actually written about a girl who doesn't like a bossy possessive boyfriend. That's all.

Just thinking about how restrictive life for women had been in the 50s and early 60s. A teenager approaching marriage and womenhood would have felt like a prison sentence in some ways. Maybe even more for a lesbian like this singer who didn’t even have the romance with a husband to look forward to. The freedom of youth went double even triple in these times. And she was determined to be herself every second of it. You can feel the triumph and power in that line. It makes me emotional too.

Tbe whole song is ahead of its time, but especially the line "Don't put me on display."

This is one of the most powerful performances I've ever seen

Many people today do not know the cultural and political significance of this song. You Don’t Own Me is considered a feminist anthem. Recorded by 17 yr old Lesley Gore in 1963 the song was written and produced by three men: John Madara, David White and Quincy Jones. It reached Nr 2 on Billboard’s Top 100 where it stayed for 3 weeks. Along with other artist works, YDOM was considered a factor for second wave feminism in USA a decade later. In 2016 YDOM was inducted in the Grammy Hall Of Fame. It was Lesley Gore’s last song to hit a Top Ten chart in USA.

A small part in Gore not having another top 10 is that, whilst her 1963 song YDOM is about emancipation and freedom from control, her very next single - The Way Boys Are - suggests that, whilst boys treat you like garbage, that's just the way boys are, and we - women - love them for it. It reached 14 in USA, and her next song bombed to 42nd.

lol I wasn't referring to a woman singing about independence. I was referring to a woman who encouraged independence and took that action. Woman, despite legally having freedom, were and still are ridiculed to some point. So I didn't know back then that songs like this could be accepted considering how potent the bigotry towards woman was.... I'll let that "your parents era" thing slide. Even though this is 5 and 8 years before my parents were even born. I guess that's close enough...
