BRANDY - WHAT ABOUT US

What the hell?
I don't have time
Why you messin' with my mind?
I can find another guy
Someone who will treat me right

I don't need this bull ish
I won't put up with it, any longer
You can, go if you want
I don't, need your pity
I will, be just fine

Brandy's video for "What About Us?" shows the negative side of a woman under control. It motivates women and girls to leave their significant other if they are not in control. In a way, there is a positive side as well letting females know they are strong enough to leave their men. It contradicts the traditional female role of being sensitive and concerned, and that is what society is leaning towards today. This is one of the modern female gender roles that is spreading quickly.

  • INTRINSIC MOTIVATION: If girls are in control of their men, they will feel better about themselves.
  • ACHIEVEMENT: Women have high achievement to be in control of their relationship. If not, they shouldn't satisfy for underachievement by not getting what they from their men.
  • EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION: This video suggests if women were in total control, they'd only have the highest maintenance of boyfriends.
