Pat Benetar continues her badass persona in her song “Hit Me With Your Best Shot”. She takes, yet, another shot at the gender roles and stereotypes in the ’80s and crushes them with this top hit.

 

Masculinity:

  • Aggressive
  • Rebellious
  • Driven

 

Feminity:

  • Vulnerability- the lyrics refer to her “little heart”
  • Stylish – “Before I put another notch in my lipstick case”
  • Passionate- in the sense of  the message she is sending to her listeners through her lyrics
