Women on Country with a Focus of the MEN

Recently I was listening to a playlist on Spotify called "Women of Country" I love this playlist because it has all the amazing women of country music. There is one common trend that I noticed in this playlist with these women. Just about every song was about a man.

These are powerful, inspiring women and they're singing about being in love or heartbreak. I just couldn't believe it. I mean I know country music is know for being centered on love. But this is ridicules. Don't believe me? Here are some examples:

1. Jolene by Dolly Parton

This song is about a woman trying to steal Dolly's husband and she is begging her not to.

2. I Got the Boy by Jana Kramer

Jana is talking about one of her ex boyfriends and how he is getting married. She is going on about how he was a different person when she was with him. "I got the boy, she got the man."

3. Any Man of Mine by Shania Twain

The great Shania Twain even is on the list. She is giving all these requirements about what a guy has to be like if they want to be with her.

4. Vice by Miranda Lambert

Miranda shouldn't be a shock as to why she's on the list. Her ex husband Blake Shelton left her for another woman. So she made this song to describe her suffering and how she was coping with her divorce.

5. Church Bells by Carrie Underwood

Mrs. Underwood also shouldn't be a surprise, all the she writes about is love and heartbreak she goes from singing Before He Cheats to Heartbeat. This girl is like flipping a switch but she is amazing woman, mother, and wife. I just hope Mike Fischer never cheat on her for the sake of his vehicle anyway.

Now there are of course songs on the playlist that are not about men, like 80s Mercedes, Road Less Traveled, and Fly. But majority of them are from these amazing, women that inspire us to be ourselves, but how are we suppose to follow their lead when all they focus on is men?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
