Creativity Quote by Kenny Loggins

Loggins is picking a fight with a feel-good story America loves: that a paycheck equals freedom. He takes the glossy label "liberated woman" and flips it into a provocation, arguing that corporate success can be its own kind of confinement. The line works because it refuses the easy before-and-after plot where the housewife is pure oppression and the career woman is pure progress. By saying "maybe even more", he’s not defending domesticity so much as attacking the way liberation gets marketed as a new uniform.

The subtext is second-wave-feminism adjacent, but filtered through a pop musician’s plainspoken suspicion of institutions. "Out of her power" suggests alienation: a woman moving through spaces designed by men, rewarded for adopting the codes that already dominate. The phrase "imitating male power" is the hinge. It implies that the corporate ladder doesn’t just demand labor; it demands a performance of authority that treats masculinity as the default operating system. If you want access, you learn the accent.

There’s also a romantic essentialism humming underneath: "female power" as something distinct, perhaps relational, embodied, or nonhierarchical. That can read as protective or patronizing, depending on the listener. Either way, Loggins is diagnosing a cultural bait-and-switch: emancipation offered on the condition that you become legible to a male-defined workplace, then praised for the transformation. The critique lands because it names the exhaustion of trying to win in a game whose rules you didn’t write.
