Quotes thumb|Annie Lennox Historically, the image of women in pop music has been so totally ornamental - sexual, but predictably so. It's hard to tell how far women's individuality has come in the past twenty years. Certainly, if you look at the pop charts as a measuring stick, you'd think it hasn't come far at all. But women do feel less like victims now than they did twenty years ago. At heart I'm a feminist, but I'm also a feminist for men. Men should be liberated from the roles that are foisted on them also. As quoted On IMDb I understand what it is for a woman to want to protect their children and give them the best they can. As quoted on Allauthor.com We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection, support, justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item. As quoted on quotesgram Song lyrics Diva (1992) I may be madI may be blindI may be viciously unkindBut I can still read what you're thinking.And I've heard it said too many timesThat you'd be better offBesides, why can't you see this boat is sinking? "Why" And If you're trying to cut me downYou know that I might bleed'Cause if you're trying to cut me downI know that you'll succeedAnd if you want to hurt meThere's nothing left to fear'Cause if you want to hurt meYou're doing really well my dear "Walking on Broken Glass" External links Category:1954 births Category:Living people Category:Singer-songwriters from Scotland Category:Pop singers Category:Political activists Category:LGBT rights activists Category:Women activists from the United Kingdom Category:Philanthropists from Scotland Category:Women from Scotland Category:Women singers Category:Women songwriters Category:Agnostics Category:Feminists from Scotland Category:Golden Globe Award–winning musicians Category:Brit Award winners
