@AdamFinkler honestly growing up i had (have) a crush on her, so i think she is why i always had a thing for punk rock girls and girls with dreads.

I disagree with the title, she's beautiful.

Part of being female is being attractive, she nailed pretty girl soundly

a "pretty girl" traditionally, in modern mainstream society/culture, and in Ani's song here is the one pushed in fairytales and by disney and by popular magazines/TV/movies/beauty contests... a girl who is a certain way the sexist society wants all girls to be. she's a pretty head with no brains in it, helpless, dependent on men and a victim of men, shes a cinderella or a playboy bunny or a barbie doll and her looks are all men care about. Ani says FUCK THAT SEXIST SHIT BE YOURSELF DONT BE THAT

I just got into Ani DiFranco after hearing the Red Letter song, and some stuff she did with Prince, and so far, I'm diggin' what I've heard. To folks that are saying that you don't agree with the song title, read between the lines. Ani is CLEARLY and lyrically counterattacking the patriarchal sexist ideal of what a pretty Woman is. I LOVE this song, and while the following really ain't a big deal, I'm a Man who gets what she's saying in this song. Thanks for posting!!!!
