      • i just want to write about this song so much because it's the go-to song for people being like COUNTRY MUSIC IS SO MISOGYNIST, FUNDAMENTALIST VALUES, but if you just watch her performing this song with a total fucking grimace and dead eyes and see the absolute seething hatred, the message is SO FUCKING DIFFERENT, "AFTER ALL, HE'S JUST A MAN", A TAKE DOWN OF THE TIME PERIOD IN WHICH IT'S WRITTEN, "SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO BE A WOMAN" "YOU'LL HAVE BAD TIMES, AND HE'LL HAVE GOOD TIMES" STAND BY YOUR MAN NOT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BUT BECAUSE IT'S ALL YOU CAN DO IN A SOCIETY THAT DOESN'T LET WOMEN STAND BY THEMSELVES, ESPECIALLY AFTER A DIVORCE WHEN A WOMAN IS TAINTED
