According to the lyrics, they aren’t exclusively complaining, they’re telling “good stories” about their not-so-great experience which is a different thing. Also, they never tried to be a ‘good guest’ at parties, merely that they were found to be ‘interesting at parties’ because of their ‘good stories’.
That said, I really wish they didn’t repeat lyrics so much and instead told more of those “good stories” they keep boasting about.

Will’s Vegan Store has great color options for dock boots as well as an option for insulated boots for winter. I have the blue dock non-insulated and love them. I haven’t had issue with them or anything else that I’ve ordered from the website.
Wearing the wrong length/width/shape shoe will indeed mess up your feet. Wearing the correct size/shape shoe for your individual feet will not give such issues. Additionally different shoes do different things so wearing the best one for the activity being done will yield the best results.
Changing to different shoes every day is also really important to dry out sweat and avoid repetitive injuries caused by wearing the same shoe such as corns, callouses, deformations, stress fractures, etc.
That said, cheap material and lack of local shoemakers, makes finding the good/best fit incredibly difficult if not impossible. Couple with feet size shifting throughout the day (swelling) and the changes over a lifetime, really makes everything more complicated. And that’s not even acknowledging prices or fashions.
If one decides to go barefoot, know that the impact can increase loss of the fatpad on the bottom of the foot over time.
Officially named Pussyhats, they were first worn symbolically at the 2017 US Women’s March in Washington DC. Created by Krista Suh and Jayna Zweiman (who met at an LA knitting club), the hat was made in direct response to grab em by the pussy remark from tdump. The original idea was for marchers to knit, sew, or crochet hats to create a visual statement —a sea of pink. “If everyone at the march wears a pink hat, the crowd will be a sea of pink, showing that we stand together, united,” reads the introduction to the knitting pattern on the Pussyhat Project website. The actual hats were created by people who could not attend physically, but wanted to show their support.
Since then, some have come out against it as any one symbol isn’t as all encompassing as they would like, but none have yet given or inspired a good replacement for such a strong show of women’s solidarity.
The Pussy Power Hat is more than just a piece of headwear; it is a symbol of protest, unity, and the power of grassroots movements. The project demonstrated how a simple act of knitting could contribute to a larger political discourse, inspiring similar initiatives worldwide.
