sure but there's different levels on which you can do this, a difference between writing a song to boost a woman's confidence/inspire them to change their situation and a song which can do the same thing but does so by listing all the reasons the man was weak/rubbish/whatever or focussing on the other's flaws rather than the victim's pros (just like party politics ha). i guess both have their place - either way it won't mean much to me personally. i'm sure you can guess from all this what the most appealing aspect of e.g. 'Caught Out There' was for me.
