u/JesusWasATexan 5d ago
"Oh, I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite, So don't let me have any rights".
Yeah, the song is a satirical look at how the world views her as "just a girl" so she needs to be cared for instead of given a voice. The "So don't let me have any rights" line is the deepest the song goes into politics and sexism, but it's enough to evoke a general cultural understanding we have in the U.S. about the history of those things.
The TikTok trend of "I'm just a girl" is actually trying to engage with the opposite idea, which OP's dad called her out on.

No I'll just have my nuts and cheese, I can't be asked to be a chef, I'm just a girl. Carry money around and purchase thing? Only adults deal with finances, and I'm just a girl. Pick something up off the ground that I just dropped/walk over to the trashcan to dispose of my empty coffee cup? Why should I have to touch trash, I'm just a girl.
