"We're all grown women now; if we wanna do something, we can't be stopped!"
About this Quote
The subtext is as much about who used to stop them as it is about what they want to do. Coming from a musician who rose inside the late-90s/early-2000s pop machine, the phrase reads like a delayed emancipation. That era sold “girl power” while often maintaining strict control over women’s choices: image, relationships, press behavior, even how they talked about their own ambition. Hamilton’s insistence that they “can’t be stopped” pushes back against the patronizing idea that women in pop are perpetually “girls,” frozen at the age they first became marketable.
There’s also a sly acknowledgment of scrutiny. Adults get judged for wanting things; women get policed for wanting too loudly. By framing desire as a simple, unanimous decision, she dodges apology and invites solidarity. It’s not an argument. It’s a door closing on permission culture.
