| "What sticks in my craw about the pilot song. It's narcissistic, at its core. It's all about her, not how being a pilot changed forever for a great swath of the profession." Well, there is that section in the song where she sings about her all-female cockpit, so it does point to how in breaking the glass ceiling for herself, she did so for others. I don't get narcissism from the song, I get celebrating her struggle and her achievements, and then sharing that with the rest of us who also want to experience that vicariously. Especially in the aftermath of the election, there are many of us (male and female) who want to celebrate the achievements of powerful, ambitious women, and who don't feel like those woman are being narcissistic in sharing the ways that they've made the world a better place. |
