To be fair, [[WordOfGod by Lesley's admission]], she hadn't truly discovered her sexuality until 1966 while attending Sarah Lawrence College, and mentioned she was as boy-crazy in her high school days as any straight female.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: "You Don't Own Me" can be seen as either an empowering song about a woman who doesn't want their boyfriend to objectify them or an empowering song about a woman who doesn't want to be in a committed relationship. This is especially muddled up with the cover by Grace.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: While it's agreed that "You Don't Own Me" can be seen as either is an empowering song song, debate has been made about whether it's about a woman who doesn't want their boyfriend to objectify them or an empowering song about a woman who doesn't want to be in a committed relationship. This is especially muddled up with the cover by Grace.

** "Judy's Turn to Cry", the sequel to "It's My Party (and I'll Cry if I Want To)". Our heroine, jilted by her boyfriend, kisses another guy -- whereupon the jealous Johnny hits this interloper and takes her back. This is presented as a triumph over rival Judy. Lesson learned, girls -- don't expect your boyfriend to be faithful to you, but you had sure better be faithful to him.

** Another popular Gore hit, "Maybe I Know", has its own dissonance, with a chorus like, "Maybe I know that he's been a cheat/Maybe I know that he's been untrue/But what can I do?" In more enlightened times, as [=AllMusic=] [[http://www.allmusic.com/song/maybe-i-know-mt0048596557 pointed out in its contemporary review of the song]], maybe the girl would think to confront his boyfriend over the matter, or find someone more faithful to her. It may be no wonder that she took to "You Don't Own Me" later, with its more defiant, independent lyrics.
