Netta Barzilai is being called the voice of the #MeToo movement. Her song “Toy” includes the lines “I am not your toy, you stupid boy” and “the Barbie’s got something to say.” She says, “The song has an important message — the awakening of female power and social justice, wrapped in a colorful, happy vibe….I think the song is #MeToo, but it’s an empowerment song for everybody, and everybody can find themselves in it.”
About her fashion choices, she says, “I see it as a really important way of expression. Also because larger women don’t celebrate themselves…We only live once and I really believe than I am beautiful and sexy and special… it’s a wonderful chance to make a little change in the world…You don’t have to fit the normal, standard model of how a person should look, think, talk and create in order to succeed. We’re only here for a minute, we better enjoy the ride.”
After her win, she said, “I’m so happy. Thank you so much for choosing difference. Thank you so much for accepting differences between us. Thank you for celebrating diversity.”
