Girls Chase Boys










Ingrid Michaelson perfectly parodies sexism in pop music.
The video is an homage to Robert Palmer's 1988 classic "Simply irresistible".
It has empowering message about gender and love.
People in this music video dress creates a more fluid depiction of gender identity that challenges many standard tenets of masculinity.
The repeated phrase "girls chase boys chase girls" affords both genders more respect as equal players in any relationship.
Michaelson said that the song is about the idea that "no matter who or how we love, we are all the same. The video takes that idea one step further, and attempts to turn stereotypical gender roles on their head. Girls don't exclusively chase boys. We all know this. We all chase each other and in the end we are all chasing after the same thing: love."
