it's just guys telling girls "wow it's so impressive how strong you are for doing regular things" but like. girls don't need guys to tell them that, this isn't by any means a progressive song
it is, however, a super nice song! for a partner to support their partner and help them feel good about themselves
This is pretty much how I feel, it's a super fun song but might be a little infantalizing? I'm conflicted.

I think the lyric, "i'm your everything and not your toy," is kind of a positive gender message. It's kind of like, "don't objectify me" in my mind.
