What Are Women Supposed to Give Up? is a powerful alternative-metal and hard-rock protest anthem centered on women’s privacy, safety, boundaries, biological sex, and fairness in female athletics.
 
Driven by heavy guitars, thunderous percussion, dark cinematic textures, and a commanding female vocal, the song asks a central question:
 
How much should women be expected to surrender in the name of inclusion?
 
The lyrics speak from the perspective that biological sex remains meaningful even when a person undergoes hormonal or surgical transition. They also express a faith-based belief in male and female while acknowledging that people can hold different beliefs and still be treated with human dignity.
A major focus of the song is competitive sport. It defends the purpose of female athletic categories and argues that women and girls deserve meaningful opportunities to compete, earn records, win medals, and pursue championships within sex-based divisions.
 
The spoken-word bridge brings the song’s message into sharp focus: women have historically experienced violence, discrimination, dismissal, and pressure to remain silent. The song argues that establishing boundaries around privacy or speaking about biological sex should not automatically be characterized as hatred.
 
What Are Women Supposed to Give Up? ultimately refuses the idea that respecting another person requires women to silence themselves.
 
Women matter.
Privacy matters.
Safety matters.
Fairness matters.
Biological sex matters.
 
And women do not have to disappear to prove that they are kind.
