This song is one of the themes that I analyzed for my first paper. I decided to write about a Mexican singer named Paquita La Del Barrio, and she is known for her feminist songs and for her hate towards most men.
The song is about a woman wondering how she would treat women if she were a man. It's kind of like Beyonce's "If I were a boy" song, but Paquita's song is aimed mostly at married women and the way their husbands sometimes treat them like servants.
It is a very old song, and the video is not the best, but I think that the lyrics are very significant in advocating against machismo.
