There’s a certain breed of female musicians that seems to make some men really uncomfortable…
It’s not so much the idea of female empowerment that intimidates them. Depictions of strong, fierce, independent women are well-embraced nowadays, and even if they don’t conform to the traditional idea of delicate, demure feminity, they’re still pleasant in a sexy way.

I’ve been careless with a delicate man

In the shape of a girl
You’re the bird on the brim
Hypnotized by the Whirl
