Exactly what I was going to post.
Seemed to perpetuate the idea that being poor means you have no morals, you’ll pimp out your daughter to a rich guy.
Yeah, pimping our your kid isn’t exactly equality. Even Reba couldn’t put lipstick on that pig.
“Women’s Liberation” was a lie told to poor women by rich women to get them to stop having babies.
The gentlemen will be nice to you - until they don’t want to pay you, or want to beat you up, abuse you or kill you. How was Fancy supposed to know who the safe “gentlemen” were?
Women’s Lib and the Women’s Movement have brought women down to hell and society with it.
This will all get fixed when Jesus returns as Lord and King with us soon (near the end of this century IMO).
Then, women will be women and men will be men. Women will be equal with men in VALUE but NOT equal with men in in ROLE.
And we will have Peace on Earth...
That said, 'Fancy' was a bold statement for a woman to be making in 1969 (before you could utter the word "pregnant" on television) but I have to say I prefer Reba's remake because of the sheer power of her voice. That woman can nail a note to the wall.
What did you throw off that bridge Bobbi
No. Womens' Lib, and the ever expanding social welfare state, is necessary to avoid poor people having to prostitute themselves.
It was a lie, of course ...
Now we have "poor" women prostituting themselves to get welfare ...
Is that what she thought at the time or what she decided on later?
It’s possible that the song could have been intended to be tragic or horrifying, and when it turned out not to be popular, she tried to push it as an anthem of women’s lib.
And today’s tranny movement - with males posing as females and competing against girls/women in sports - is the end result of forcing your daughter to be a prostitute. Where are all the feminists now?
It’s why Hefner supported women’s lib, abortion and “free love”
It made women compete to the lowest common denominator.
Have sex before the other girl does to get the boy you think you love.
It’s been downhill ever since. Made Hefner a rich pervert and 40yr old woman single,barren and bitter.
While men get off relatively easy.
It’s a tense, often unsympathetic portrait of the lack of choice poor women have in America
Gentry had the pipes to be somebody but if she wrote stupid sophomoric shit like Fancy it’s understandable that I only know her for Ode to Billy Joe.
America is full of women who hit hard economics and didn’t go out and whore themselves. I wish at my age I was as well set up economically as my old aunt who lost her 29 year old husband when their child was an infant; back in 1933 no less.
It never sounded like a song about “women’s lib” to me, either.
Gentry told stories with her music, as did many other artists at that time.
Her political statements only show that she was a product of her time.
I guess that line about “never had a lick of sense” was heartfelt and hard won?
I can assure everyone that none of the above mentioned clowns had any idea what it was like to see a teenage girl lost to prostitution. If they did they could never condone a song or ideology such as this.
Having raised an adopted son who was the child of a prostitute teenage mother and dealing with those things are the most despicable that can be imagined maybe second only to parents who mutilate their children.
