It was also released as the B-side of his single "The Horizontal Bop." Its lyrics are accused of objectifying women, and the song was inspired by feminist icon Jane Fonda. Music and lyricsLike "The Horizontal Bop", and unlike the more successful previous singles from Against the Wind, "Her Strut" is a fast-paced rocker.[1] Journalist Bill King described it as being "screechy voiced" and said it reminded him of the Eagles' song "The Long Run".[2] Roy Trakin of The Daily News felt it lacked the drive of the more popular, slower songs from Against the Wind.[3] But Arizona Daily Star critic Pam Parrish felt it has "the same rhythmic tension that characterized [earlier Seger fan favorites] 'The Fire Down Below' and 'Come to Poppa.'"[4] Some listeners criticized the lyrics of "Her Strut" for objectifying women.[5] Music journalist Jimmy Guterman and arts editor Owen O'Donnell criticized "Her Strut" as a "bewildering lame ditty" whose singer "sounds like an aging high school football jerk who never grew out of thinking of 'girls' as either virgins or whores."[5] Rolling Stone critic Dave Marsh criticized it for belittling women when they try to assert themselves.[6] Seger objected to Marsh's accusation of misogyny stating "My God, I don't hate women. I'm for women standing up."[7] Seger went on to state that he used the sexist sounding chorus because he liked the way the sound of the word "strut" worked in the song and that he attempted to counter any sexist connotations in the verses, saying:[7] But anyway, "Her Strut." The very title conjures up an image to me, ya know? And it's something I had to work my way around, 'cause saying "I love to watch her strut" is almost an automatic sexist thing. "Her Strut." I really struggled with that, I did. But I loved the hardness of the word "strut" in the song, ya know? And I worked real hard on the verses to try to put across the idea that this is not a sexist theme, that what I'm trying to say here is that at the bottom line it's human nature, that men are still gonna love women for being sexual in spite of all this other stuff. Women have to understand that it's still gonna be human nature. Can't turn off the hormones. I didn't wanna look like I'm some sort of sexist monster, and I'm not. I'm really not. Honest to God. Seger has also stated that "Her Strut" was inspired by political activist Jane Fonda and her appearance before the Campaign for Economic Democracies.[8][11][9] He stated "I was quite proud of her for doing that. I admired her crust. For going in there and having the strength to speak her mind, so I kind of wrote 'Her Strut' for an '80s woman ... you know, it was the dawn of the '80s, and I wanted to write a song about how women have become so confident and stepped out so much, and I thought Jane was a great role model."[8] AXS critic Jeff Wallace feels that Seger succeeded in his objective stating that the song tells of "a strong independent woman and how she won't be controlled by anyone."[10] Fonda has claimed to be flattered by the song, stating that "you’ll know why when you hear the lyrics."[9][11] Other appearances"Her Strut" was included on Seger's 2003 compilation album Greatest Hits 2 and on the 2011 compilation album Rock and Roll Never Forgets.[12][13] A live version of "Her Strut" was included on Seger's 1981 live album Nine Tonight.[14] "Her Strut" was featured in two video games in the 2000s: Grand Theft Auto IV in 2008 and Guitar Hero World Tour in 2009.[15] References1. ^{{cite news|title=The Principled Bob Seger|author=Kot, Greg|via=newspapers.com|accessdate=November 7, 2018|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/25195705/quadcitytimes_21mar80_p49/|newspaper=Quad City Times|date=March 21, 1980|page=49}} 2. ^{{cite news|via=newspapers.com|title=Seger's Still the Same|author=King, Bill|accessdate=November 7, 2018|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/25199201/atl_constitution_29mar80_p86/|newspaper=Atlanta Constitution|date=March 29, 1980|page=86}} 3. ^{{cite news|via=newspapers.com|author=Trakin, Roy|title=Bob Seger, Rock Survivor|accessdate=November 7, 2018|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/25199342/daily_news_7sep80_p130/|newspaper=The Daily News|date=September 7, 1980|page=130}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=On Record|via=newspapers.com|accessdate=November 7, 2018|author=Parrish, Pam|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/25199878/6apr80_p75/|newspaper=Arizona Daily Star|date=April 6, 1980|page=75}} 5. ^{{cite book|title=The Worst Rock n' Roll Records of All Time|author=Guterman, Jimmy & O'Donnell, Owen|pages=22–24|year=1991|publisher=Citadel Press|isbn=9780806512310}} 6. ^{{cite book|title=Fortunate Son|author=Marsh, Dave|pages=130–132|year=1985|publisher=Random House|isbn=0394721195}} 7. ^1 {{cite news|title=Bob Seger Bops Horizontally|author=DiMartino, Dave|newspaper=Creem|pages=40–46|date=September 1980}} 8. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=How Bob Seger Finally Scored a No. 1 Album with Against the Wind|author=Giles, Jeff|date=February 25, 2016|url=http://ultimateclassicrock.com/bob-seger-against-the-wind/|publisher=Ultimate Classic Rock|accessdate=November 7, 2018}} 9. ^1 {{cite web|title=Bob Seger: “I wanted to be as rhythmic as James Brown, as deep as Bob Dylan…”|url=https://www.uncut.co.uk/features/bob-seger-wanted-rhythmic-james-brown-deep-bob-dylan-73754/4#lre76sC7yAOYKqSH.99|author=Uhelszki, Jaan|date=April 15, 2016|accessdate=November 7, 2018|publisher=Uncut}} 10. ^1 {{cite web|title=Bob Seger: Five things you don't know|author=Wallace, Jeff|url=https://www.axs.com/bob-seger-five-things-you-don-t-know-44274|date=March 15, 2015|publisher=AXS}} 11. ^{{cite web|title=Bob Seger|url=https://www.janefonda.com/bob-seger/|date=December 29, 2011|accessdate=November 7, 2018|publisher=janefonda.com}} 12. ^{{cite web|title=Greatest Hits, Vol. 2|author=Erlewine, Stephen Thomas|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/greatest-hits-vol-2-mw0000319683|publisher=Allmusic|accessdate=November 7, 2018}} 13. ^{{cite web|title=Ultimate Hits: Rock and Roll Never Forgets|author=Erlewine, Stephen Thomas|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/ultimate-hits-rock-and-roll-never-forgets-mw0002251882|publisher=Allmusic|accessdate=November 7, 2018}} 14. ^{{cite web|title=Nine Tonight|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/nine-tonight-mw0000650755|publisher=Allmusic|accessdate=November 7, 2018}} 15. ^{{cite book|title=Travelin’ Man: On the Road and Behind the Scenes with Bob Seger|author=Graff, Gary & Weschler, Tom|page=161|publisher=Wayne State University Press|year=2010|isbn=9780814337028}} External links
