Watched the Dolly Parton movie on Netflix a few months ago and this song of her's from 1968 was pretty bold, and relevant for this group. Lyrics are below, Youtube of the song. She basically calls out guys for going and sleeping around, ruining a girls reputation, and then claiming a girl sleeping with a man before marriage is worse than a man. She's such a boss.
Even the story behind why she wrote I Will Always Love You, was so that she could get out of her contract on a t.v. show with a guy who was using her and not allowing her to grow her career.

Just Because I'm a Woman - Dolly Parton
I can see you're disappointed
By the way you look at me
And I'm sorry that I'm not
The woman you thought I'd be
Yes, I've made my mistakes
But listen and understand
My mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
So when you look at me
Don't feel sorry for yourself
Just think of all the shame
You might have brought somebody else
Just let me tell you this
Then we'll both know where we stand
My mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
Now a man will take a good girl
And he'll ruin her reputation
But when he wants to marry
Well, that's a different situation
He'll just walk off and leave her
To do the best she can
While he looks for an angel
To wear his wedding band
Now I know that I'm no angel
If that's what you thought you'd found
I was just the victim of
A man that let me down
Yes, I've made my mistakes
But listen and understand
My mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
No, my mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
