What Kick Ass Fandom Lady Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla



A while back, during the Firefly Vidding Kerfuffle, elke_tanzer said something about men thinking nothing of appropriating women's work.

I ran across a song that reminded me of that.
You know, of course, the Dixie Chicks had their big hit with "Good-bye Earl," in which an abused woman kills her husband. (but much peppier and upbeat than Martina McBride's "Independence Day" where the battered wife kills herself along with her husband)

Ray Stevens, a man I liked and respected, recorded "Hey girls, this is Earl. I didn't Die."

The premise is, Earl survived and has gone to the law on them for attempted murder. Nowhere in the song do the cops slap him in irons for
"walked right through the restraining order and put her in intensive care."

Makes me mad.
