I have an assignment for a class that has to do with gender roles and how they are represented in music. To do this we are asked to compare a song from 1980 or before and compare it to one 1980 to present day. I have no problem picking songs from the present day category but have no clue on good ones from the the older era's, got any good ideas?

Examples are:
Guy's Do It all the time - Mindy McCready
I'm Just a Girl- No Doubt
Dude Looks like a Lady - Aerosmith
