What do feminiist think about this Led Zeppelin song- Living Loving Maid (She’s Just A Woman)?

tall babes
Max Power asked:

With a purple umbrella and a fifty cent hat,
Livin’, lovin’, she’s just a woman.
Missus cool rides out in her aged Cadillac.
Livin’, lovin’, she’s just a woman.

*Come on, **** on the round about, ride on the merry-go-round,
We all know what your name is, so you better lay your money down.

Alimony, alimony payin’ your bills,
Livin’, lovin’, she’s just a woman.
When your conscience hits, you knock it back with pills.
Livin’, lovin’, she’s just a woman.

* Chorus

Tellin’ tall tales of how it used to be.
Livin’, lovin’, she’s just a woman.
With the butler and the maid and the servants three.
Livin’, lovin’, she’s just a woman.

Nobody hears a single word you say.
Livin’, lovin’, she’s just a woman.
But you keep on talkin’ till your dyin’ day.
Livin’, lovin’, she’s just a woman.

* Chorus

Livin’, Lovin’, She’s just a woman.

I think it is a great song and should be an MRA’s anthem.

    I can’t bring myself to believe that Feminists can go reading it beyond the phrase ‘She’s Just A Woman’.

    What do I think> Just like any other lyrics that pass as *music* these days (or in the yesteryear’s), these lyrics were supposed to feed a particular group.

    The Feminist definition of MRA is here :.;_ylv=3?qid=20090331075047AAJVFua

    What’s the MRA?

    I don’t care for Led Zeppelin so this is the first I’ve ever heard of these lyrics. What do I think? Whatever. Who cares what Led Zeppelin thinks?

    I’m more of a Pink Floyd fan myself…

    One of the great rock songs ever. Please leave it out of the petty squabbles of this forum.
