4. She was "accused" of being a feminist

and wasn't thrilled with the label. But when it comes to female empowerment: "the feelin good comes easy now since I've got the pill" in 1975? Very gutsy.

5. It was played on Birmingham radio stations in '75

Mom got quite a kick out of it.

6. Love that song! I don't remember it, but I remember the era.

7. Sing it, Loretta!

This was very risque at the time. It may be today too.

8. Innocently filth :)

True. Given some of the comments casting women who use BC as sluts, apparently it still is pretty risque to some.

9. I would be proud to be called a SLUT.

I am old enough not to need the pill, besides having had my tubes tied years ago, but I will stand up with every woman who still needs birth control and be a slut.

10. Solidarity!
