Raise Your Glass


This is a video by P!nk from 2010 in which for part of it she dresses like Rosie the Riveter.  The video features people who do not fit societal norms through their size,  appearance, sexual orientation, relationships, etc. P!nk's use of Rosie the Riveter shows how she rejects societal norms, and believes women can be strong. 

However, at the same time through her lyrics and imagery she seems to indicate women are "underdogs." Lyrics include: “So raise your glass if you are wrong/ In all the right ways/ All my underdogs/ We will never be never be anything but loud/ And nitty gritty dirty little freaks/ Won’t you come on and come on and raise your glass.”
