A song that I found quite interesting that incorporated the theme of gender was the song by Magic! Called “Rude”. The song is about a man that is striving to ask his girlfriend’s father for her hand for marriage. However, the father instantly rejects his offer.

Although this part of the song may portray the young man as sweet and well mannered, he still is selfish because he wants to do whatever he thinks is right at all costs. This song goes back to the idea of having patriarchal cultural marriage customs were daughters had to get their father’s permission in order to get married. In a way this practice portrays women as property because they are being transferred from the father
