Alright, Mr. President: let’s talk. You’ve spent the entire campaign season degrading women, people of color, LGBTQ+ folx, and many more. We women have to face plenty of men like you in our lives, but never have we encountered someone with a mind (or hands) smaller than yours.

But, you know what? No. No, no, no, no, no. No. You cannot and will not win. Women in the United States and around the world have been dealing with people like you since the beginning of time. We’re too busy crushing the patriarchy, empowering little girls, saving the environment, and standing up for those under attack by your government and other regimes across the world to bow down to the oppressor. Lucky for us, we have some fierce ladies helping us achieve female greatness through music.

Nasty women unite!

4. Lily Allen, “Hard Out Here”

Nasty lyric:

“If I told you 'bout my sex life, you'd call me a slut

When boys be talkin' about their b******, no one's makin' a fuss

There's a glass ceilin' to break, uh-huh, there's money to make

And now it's time to speed it up 'cause I can't move at this pace.”

Post up, flawless

Ride round in it, flawless

Flossin' on that, flawless

This diamond, flawless

My diamond, flawless

This rock, flawless

My rock, flawless

I woke up like this

I woke up like this.”

Adichie’s nasty lyric:

“Because I am female

I am expected to aspire to marriage

I am expected to make my life choices

Always keeping in mind that

Marriage is the most important

Now marriage can be a source of

Joy and love and mutual support

But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage

And we don't teach boys the same?”

9. Mary Lambert, “She Keeps Me Warm”

Nasty lyric:

“And I can’t change, even if I tried

Even if I wanted to

My love, my love, my love, my love

She keeps me warm, she keeps me warm

She keeps me warm, she keeps me warm.”

10. Sara Bareilles, “Brave”

“You can be amazing

You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug

You can be the outcast

Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love

Or you can start speaking up.”

11. Katy Perry, “Roar”

Nasty lyric:

“I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter

Dancing through the fire

'Cause I am the champion, and you're gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!”

16. Pink & Indigo Girls, “Dear Mr. President”

“How can you say

No child is left behind?

We're not dumb and we're not blind.

They're all sitting in your cells

While you pave the road to hell.”

BONUS:

“Let me tell you 'bout hard work

Minimum wage with a baby on the way

Let me tell you 'bout hard work

Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away

Let me tell you 'bout hard work

Building a bed out of a cardboard box

Let me tell you 'bout hard work

Hard work

Hard work

You don't know nothing 'bout hard work

Hard work

Hard work

Oh.”

17. Indigo Girls, “Closer To Fine”

Nasty lyric:

“I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains

I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain.

There's more than one answer to these questions

pointing me in a crooked line.

And the less I seek my source for some definitive,

the closer I am to fine. The closer I am to fine.”

18. Meghan Trainor, “NO”

Nasty lyric:

“Thank you in advance,

I don't wanna dance (nope)

I don't need your hands all over me

If I want a man,

Then I'mma get a man

But it's never my priority.”

And that girl is me

That girl is stronger than the raging sea.”

“There's a scream inside that we all try to hide

We hold on so tight, we cannot deny

We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no

I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, yeah.”

22. Bea Miller, “Young Blood”

But your blade it might be too sharp

I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard

But I may snap when I move close

But you won't see me fall apart

'Cause I've got an elastic heart.”
