Good morning!

Today concludes the theme that Fem Fri has been on for the last five weeks, I hope that you have enjoyed it. We finish (the theme, not Fem Fri) with one of my favourite pop music genres; songs with lists of rules governing the relationships between men and women. Put your headphones on and enjoy a little desk dance to advice of these strong and beautiful women.

Obviously Dua Lips is extremely famous so I am unlikely to be introducing you to something you have never heard before here, but this is actually very sound advice for dealing with an ex:

Electrik Red are, unjustly, not extremely famous so I’m really excited for you to listen to this one. These are guidelines for “someone you are kind of seeing” rather than you specifically:

Finally we have Nicki Minaj presenting her rules for being a boss ass bitch and also what emojis to use while doing so. Been a while since we covered correct emoji use here at Fem Fri, mainly because I can’t find a feminist angle on the bat 🦇🦇🦇:

Oh and here is a classic Minaj interview (classic = I have featured it here before and also read it several times) in case you want to read something rather than watch or listen:

She was fired from a waitressing job at a Red Lobster after she followed a couple who had taken her pen into the parking lot and then flipped them the bird. I asked her if it was a special pen. "No," she said. "It was the principle."
