The only thing that irks me is the fact that in order to be i.n.d.e.p.e.n.d.e.n.t. a woman has to not only be smart, hard working, but also beautiful-- and the beautiful part is always depicted in one specific way: tall, skinny, skimpy, and provocative. But hey, maybe in time women's IQ will count more than their bra size :) ha, ha. Great article. I think the song and the message is great.
