You probably don’t need me to give you feminist resources but, who knows? You might find something new. (I have only included non-fiction sources because perspectives on feminist readings of fiction is so much more subjective.)

Tous les mêmes by Stromae

I know I said I wasn’t including fiction, but these songs feel more like “commentary” on masculinity. I also intended for all of these resources to be anglophone, but I feel the imagery communicated in these songs transcends language.
