This Is Not A Feminist Song - SNL 

What if the feminist song is the friends we made along the way

"Where are the men in this feminist anthem" "Excellent point now move along"

That Ariana girl should start singing

i just happened across this song again today and i can’t believe i didn’t remember the RBG shout-out.....WAY too soon

My friends- so what's your favorite song? Me- its complicated

atleast SNL doesn't use celebs as clickbait by zooming in their face in the thumbnail and writing their name in caps lock even before the title of what the video is really about. It's just when i watch some videos i realise there are some damn famous celebs ft.

"This is not a feminist song, we tried real hard but it took too long..." Two years later: "God is a Woman" Ariana Grande 🖤

“We tried real hard but it took too long” Me doing anything

When she said “see this old women’s hands” I felt that😔

"This is not a feminist song, so technically it can't be wrong." I'm dead😂😂😂

At 0:43, my aunt shows up... I didn’t even know she was on this. And yes, this is my actual aunt.

For those of you who want to sing along: The world it needs an anthem For all of women kind A song to fight, a song to right, the wrongs of all of time So we put pen to paper And wrote all through the night A gorgeous ode to feminism well within our sights But this is pretty nuanced stuff And putting it all in one song was tough And that’s why This is not a feminist song We tried real hard but it took too long This is not a feminist song Cause’ we were scared we would do it wrong We know women need an anthem A song to call their own But we didn’t write that anthem we went home Every woman has a struggle And every struggles real But just try to write a song that captures every women’s deal So instead of writing lyrics Here’s us running in the sand And here’s a bunch of lens flares and an old woman’s hands Not to call a woman old Or judge a woman’s hands We know a woman shouldn’t be reduced to just her hands We stepped right into that trap It’s so hard to navigate this crap And that’s why This is not a feminist song So technically it can’t be wrong This is not a feminist song I feel like we’ve been singing so long Our ancestors they fought for us so they deserve a song But this is not that song so move along Now here’s some powerful footage for a song we did not write It’s Malala, Maya Angelou, and Madeline Albright And RBG she taught me that women can be strong And that women have the right to choose to bail on this whole song Ohhhhh yeah And that’s why This is not a feminist song We’re just women singing a song But doesn’t that make it a feminist song? I guess this was feminist all along This is a feminist song Tweet and hashtag #feministsong Where are the men in this feminist song? An excellent point now move along Cause’ now it’s time for you at home to weigh in on this song And tell us if we handled it all wrong It’s a tough and tricky land mine of a song Sorry for any errors in these 🙃

Aidy Bryant actually has a really good singing voice.

I'm a feminist and I think this is hysterical. And I'm impressed that I read an entire page of comments and there were no trolls calling women all kinds of hateful names, which is a total rarity in RU-vidland. I'm not going to read any more. I'm going to quit while I'm ahead.

1:58 Rest in Power. "Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you." - RBG

My 5 year old son is singing “this is not a vitamin song” lol

I didn't realize how strong women could be until I saw my Mom become a single mother of 6, getting breast cancer, surviving cancer, and never forgetting to put us first. I don't know how you can get stronger than the LOVE that women can show.

Lol I don't see why this was seen as controversial? I'm a feminist and I'm certainly not offended by this. All it's saying is that feminism is complicated and women will often be criticized for attempting to write a feminist song. And it sounds pretty good too!

All the anti-feminists are so triggered I'm laughing

“Not to call a woman old or judge a woman’s hands. We know a woman shouldn’t be reduced to just her hands.”😅 SNL poking fun at how exhausting it can be trying to be 100% pc all the time. I imagine it’s especially tricky for comedians. Kate McKinnon (famous for her SNL Hillary, Bieber, Giuliani & a million other impersonations) basically said that’s why she doesn’t “do” social media. She’s seen too many well intentioned celebs say mundane, or genuinely nice things only to be attacked online & she doesn’t want to deal with that crap. She’s a very smart (and hella funny & talented) woman! 😉

Lense flare and an old woman's hands!!!! lmao! Every video ever!

I like how even though Ari was the guest star she didn't overpower anyone!

Y'all deceived me it was a feminist song,dammit,it was good tho😂

Aidy CARRIED this skit, she was so expressive

This was published 3 years ago ?? Why is it in my recommendations??

Needed more lens flares. #ExcellentPointNowMovingAlong

The women of snl, of every season, are always the greatest thing 👏🏼

2016: nope 2017: nope 2018: nope 2019: yes let’s put in in her recommend

I enjoyed this way more than they intended.

This song kept giving chills it's so beautiful😭

It was a carefree song and yet some antifeminists AND some feminists managed to get mad. Are you like Hulk? Is your secret that you're always angry?

Why is this song actually so good??? Like the music/ tune is beautiful i always get pumped at the chorus

"tough and tricky landmine of a song" TRUE

I mean Kate can sing too...come on...thats not fair

Not to call a woman old or judge a woman's hands

This is actually kinda catchy.

"we just women singing a song" Perfect.

that white man complaining in the video is literally 90% of youtube comments

"heres a bunch of lens flares and an old woman's hand" relatable :)))

Better than Katy's "feminist" song.

The world, it needs an anthem For all of womankind The song to fight, the song to right The wrongs of all of time So we put pen to paper And wrote all through the night A gorgeous ode to feminism Well within our sights [Pre-Chorus 1: Kate McKinnon and Aidy Bryant] But this is pretty nuanced stuff And putting it all in one song was tough And that's why... [Chorus 1: All Women] This is not a feminist song We tried real hard, but it took too long This is not a feminist song Cause we were scared we would do it wrong We know women need an anthem A song to call their own But we didn't write that anthem We went home [Verse 2: Cecily Strong & Ariana Grande] Every woman has a struggle And every struggle's real But just try and write a song that captures Every woman's deal So instead of writing lyrics Here's us running in the sand And here's a bunch of lens flares And an old woman's hands [Kate McKinnon & Leslie Jones] Not to call a woman old Or judge a woman's hands We know a woman shouldn't be Reduced to just her hands [Pre-Chorus 2: Kate McKinnon and Ariana Grande] We stepped right into that trap It's so hard to navigate this crap And that's why... [Chorus 2: All Women] This is not a feminist song So technically it can't be wrong This is not a feminist song I feel like we've been singing so long Our ancestors, they fought for us So they deserve a song But this is not that song So move along [Bridge: Aidy Bryant & Sasheer Zamata] Now here's some powerful footage For a song we did not write It's Malala, Maya Angelou And Madeleine Albright [Kate McKinnon & Ariana Grande] And RBG, she taught me That women can be strong And that women have the right to choose To bail on this whole song, oh, yeah [All Women] And that's why This is not a feminist song We're just women singing a song But doesn't that make it a feminist song? I guess this was feminist all along [Chorus 3: All Women (Beck Bennett)] This is a feminist song Tweet it, hashtag #FEMINISTSONG [Male Cameo] Where are the men in this feminist song? [Chrous 3: All Women] An excellent point, now move along. Cause now it's time for you at home to weigh in on this song And tell us if we handled it all wrong This is a tough and tricky landmine of a song.

Why are people complaing in the comments about COMPLAINING when there are literally no complaints

I haven't seen any angry male comments, just comments complaining about the male comments.

2:48 Kate running weird at the end 😂😂😂

Nobody will ever know why this comment got so many likes !

Like a month ago a few days before my period I watched this video and it made me cry. Wtf hormones? 😂😂😂

At 2:04 ari sounded so good omg

“That’s a great point now move along” Yup.

well its just impowering to see a group of women who are different races, ages sizes, and who hail from different backgrounds all coming together in harmony at least long enough to do this video. that alone speaks volumes. so yeah great work ladies.

“We cant really write”-snl Ariana in the video with a bunch of amazing albums: hey

ari's note at the end ♡

I never knew they were such good singers, it just makes me love Kate, Aidy, Cecily and all the others even more❤️

i'm a raging feminist and i approve this message.

It's actually very catchy...

I haven't actually seen a comment complaining about men complaining, only comments about people complaining over women complaining about men complaining.

Lol not me crying at this song 😭 those lens flares and upbeat tempo will get you everytime or maybe its just my ✨hormones✨

Am I the only one that had it uploaded twice???

SNL's comedy is too smart for its own good. I love it. I think I'm in love with Cecily Strong.

Look, it’s simple. I see Ariana, I click

*This song truly deserves the Grammy's.*

This is amazing😂

Kind of sounds like "Fight Song" in ways.

ariana's last vocal run killed me ahahahaha

This is not a feminist comment. Edit: Never mind, it is

I love how they get all happy and cheerful when they recogniue that indeed it WAS feminist all along!

I feel that most of the comments on this video are about the comments on this video, not the actual video. And this is one of those comments.

I've been listening to this song for a few days now. *addicted to this song*

1:28 I love the way Aidy enter the scene😂😂

When a not feminist song is actually feminist. xD

So what you're saying is this is not the greatest feminist song in the world, this is just a tribute?

Ariana nodding to Miranda Sings at 1:46 ? @colleen :))))

RU-vid- 2016: not yet 2017:nah 2018:nope 2019:not gona happen 2020:yes

THIS IS AMAZING!

There should have been a Ghostbusters reference, but I guess this isn't a feminist song.

This is how I feel when I try to write a story with a good central theme in class.

RBG taught me that women can be strong! RIP great Lady!

This is actually a bop tho

KATE MCKINNON MAKES ME SO FUCKING

I love the musical numbers the women of SNL have been doing the last few years. Funny as hell, and most of them have damned fine voices too.

This was really brilliant. This and _Welcome to Hell_ are my favorite SNL social aware ditties.

I love everything about this song, especially the instrumental and honestly everyone that sang had great singing voices. Great video

still more feminist than 'all about that bass'

this comment section is a mess. first of all, I don't see any salty men all I see is people complaining about the salty men. but more than that I see people complaining about the people talking about the salty men because like me, they don't see any. I also see a bunch of people complaining about the angry feminists and I only saw one in the last ten minutes of scrolling. I'm so confused.

2:26 there’s always that one guy

i actually love this so much. it makes fun of people who are over dramatic but it's also women empowerment and i just love it.

Ha, ha, as a feminist, I can say that this is HILARIOUS!!!

Anyone else think the woman who started singing at 0:53 sounded exactly like Ariana?

this is a bop EVEN in 2021 byeee

i feel obligated to come here and watch this at least once a day

That move on 1:47 OMFG STOP KILLING ME ARI I'M LAUGHING SO HARD😂😂😂

This song is actually not that bad.

Is it just me or I can’t stop listening to this song....

This song was meant to offend fake feminists. So everyone who's getting offended is obviously a fake feminist or doesn't understand SNL humor.

I really.. **looks back at date** I just found this on my recommended and I wonder why?

I always find SNL songs super impressive. Like... somebody wrote that music and all the parts and a huge group of musicians made the backing track and they recorded the audio and went to all those places for the music video.

1:41 these two girls made me laugh idk why😂

Kate McKinnon makes me question my sexuality O.o

WHY IS KATE MCKINNON SUCH A GOOD SINGER OH MY HEART

lmao everyone's talking about how ridiculous it is that feminists find this video offensive, but the only comments here written by people who seem actually offended by this are written by men??

Title:- “This is not a feminist song” Me at 2:19:- So that was a f***ing lie.
