Many of them strike me as being feminist in the 'independent woman' sort of way.

Call Me by Blondie seems like an odd choice, though. Its lyrics never really struck me as feminist.

Only Women Bleed by Alice Cooper promotes that 'woman are victims' line of thought, although he was known for irony - and he still got bashed by feminists for that song, anyway!

Debbie Harry wrote that for the movie, 'American Gigolo', so I don't think it's necessarily about an aggressive woman, seeking a guy, but more a not-so sublime advertisement/anthem for some *escort* action. And given the fact that Richard Gere was a guy, it doesn't quite fit the feminist model.

This post is the limit of the energy that I can dedicate to feminist babblings.
