Heard this song this morning on way home from Airport. Got to thinking, this could very well be a song today's feminists, cows on the TV the view, the Megan Rapinoe's, Jennifer Aniston's etc of the world would probably hate the most. Especially the bridge where she talks. It's pretty and awesome and what a message. If you have a daughter..you may want her to hear it....Thanks.

I hate that song. Hated it when it came out. Still hate it today. If I could rank my least favorite songs, this would be up there. It still pops into my head now and then. Thanks. You popped it into my head today. Bleh.

Oh, wow! I remember when this song came out; I remember feminists railing against it. That was in the late 70s, no internet.

I’ve always considered it a deep and meaningful song of a woman who found truth.

It doesn’t mention God but I think conservatives can hear the meaning in it.

Look in wikipedia for the definition of maudlin and you’ll find this song.

Here’s the song that feminists love:

Lavender Jane- Every Woman can be a lesbian

Take out the man and little baby phrases and it’s got a sappy tone and “Me Decade” message that decent conservatives can hate too: “I’ve never been to me”—yuck!

I heard this song for the first time today, when I clicked on this thread. I thought it was from 2024, but I Googled it and learned that it released in 1977 and fell flat, then was re-released in 1982 and became a hit.

Hedonism, is a flawed ethical theory that places the pursuit of pleasure as the ultimate goal in life. While the pursuit of individual happiness is a valid and important aspect of life, hedonism takes it to an extreme by prioritizing immediate physical or sensory pleasure above all else.

Feminism is just a bunch of women bonding over their shared personality disorder.

An historical note: this was written when feminists were saying that marriage is a form of prostitution and that women should be as free as men.

A really messed-up generation that messed things up for future generations.

Plenty of songs about regretting living the “kicks” seeking life. “When I Was Young”, “Kicks”, “Early Morning Rain”, to name a few...
The song was detailing a modern woman realizing that there is more to life than glitz, glamour,”fun”..done in a 70’s maudlin style.
Message summarized in question, “what does it profit a man, to gain the world but lose his soul?”

Why’d you drag Jennifer Anniston into this?
