 "Will #MeToo transform our public culture?")
In honour of Trinidad and Tobago's Calypso History Month, the Global Voices Caribbean team put together a (non-comprehensive) list of songs whose lyrics empower women. The post drew a lot of attention, sparking wonderful discussion threads in which social media users added their own favourites, or questioned why one calypso or another was left out — or, in some cases, included.
Activist and cultural enthusiast Tillah Willah disagreed with the inclusion of Kitch's “Miss Tourist” and “Flag Woman”, as she thinks “they fall into the category of men giving women instructions about what to do with their bodies.”
True, much
