Throughout the song, he describes what he is feeling essentially based on how the female looks or what she is wearing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Link to song lyrics: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azlyrics.com\/lyrics\/walkerhayes\/ugurl.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/www.azlyrics.com\/lyrics\/walkerhayes\/ugurl.html<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Feminine Stereotypes\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAnd I kinda like that you ain&#8217;t afraid, To get mud on your boots\u201d<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These lyrics can actually be seen as going against most feminine stereotypes. Usually, the common stereotype of females is that they don&#8217;t want to get dirty or do anything that might cause them to get messy. This lyric implies that that is a stereotype but this girl is not like that.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Masculine Stereotypes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cEvery shade of blue jeans look mean with a body like that, Woo woo girl\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cGirl I hate to see you go, But I love to watch you exit\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI know it&#8217;s rude to stare, but shoot, I don&#8217;t wanna stop looking at, You girl\u201d<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These three different lyrics are seen as a masculine stereotype because of the male artist who wrote\/sings it. All of the lyrics listed don&#8217;t have the same context but in the end, lead to the same meaning. Males are oftentimes known for looking and talking about a female just based on her body or what she might look like. Each lyric is talking about some aspect of the physical female body and the male watching\/looking which is why it is seen as a masculine stereotype.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cGuys like me like girls that look like you girl\u201d<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is a straightforward stereotype written within the lyrics. The \u201cguys\u201d are the men that just essentially like a woman for her body or what she can do, which refers to the part that says \u201clooks like you girl\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was surprisingly shocked how much this song revolves around one basic thing; a male looking at a woman. Due to this repeated theme in the song, there are a lot of prominent masculine stereotypes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist Walker Hayes wrote \u201cU Gurl&#8221; with quite a bit of both masculine and feminine stereotypes.
