I don't think that is man bashing at all. It is women singing about their emotional experiences. If their lovers were also women you would get the same songs.

In addition it is sad that people believe that when a woman sings about a boy/man done her wrong---or a break up---that it is empowerment. I all of a woman's creative output describes herself in relation to a man she is not empowered. The songs you describe are simply those of women who are angry at the men they use to define themselves.

on another note, and not directed at you, but at media and the world in general, I am sick and tiered of hearing the "but you are man bashing" bullshit. The incidences of man bashing are so minuscule to those of men maligning, objectifying, and advocating the harm of women. And as we are in a culture where the population is mostly women, but the gatekeepers male I see a definite bias here.
