The Best Video I’ve Seen All Day: The “You Don’t Own Me” PSA
Tweet
Pin It
This video doesn’t need much of an introduction, so I’ll just keep it brief: It features Lena Dunham, Tennessee Thomas, Sarah Sophie Flicker, Carrie Brownstein, and more of our favorite ladies lip-syncing to Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me” all in the name of political representation.
It’s like Girl Crush Bingo…prepare to play it over and over again as you try to spot your faves.
And also: November 6, 2012 is Election Day, so don’t forget to vote! (Not registered yet? What are you waiting for?! Get all the details on your state voting regulations here.)–REBECCA WILLA DAVIS

My favorite shot in this magnificent and timely collage is the one that goes beyond the election to the “other” great scandal of the Catholic church: “Keep your rosaries off my ovaries!”

I love Leslie and have been in love with her since I first saw her on “Bandstand” one Saturday morning in June in 1966! I know I was only 8 yrs old but I wanted to kiss her! How wonderful of all of you to make this great message! Fight Ladies…Fight like a Girl!

I have loved this song since I first heard it as a teenager in the 60′s !!
I think I was ” born this way” as a feminist and I won’t settle for anything less
than equality for all the women of the world.
I will fight for those rights until my dying day !!

Wonderful. I hope it goes viral and every woman in America votes. I remember what it was like before Roe v Wade. We can’t go back

As an early feminist and now a senior citizen, my feeling is the same. The video says it all! I don’t need any man to tell me how to live my life, or the decisions I make!! Great video. Always loved that song and now more than ever.
