In the Wife of Bath's prologue, when she is talking about all of her five husbands, she brings up the point that there are not any rules as to how many husbands one can have. Another thing she discovers is that men have interpreted the bible in a way that fits them the best. God says to multiply and does not actually say the bigamy or monogamy is bad or a sin. She also brings up how King Solomon had multiple wife's and was not looked down on because of it. This all against the medieval church, who believes that virginity takes the prize. There are two main fallacies, one is how many men, women were allowed to marry, this is found in lines 13-27. the second is that marriage is a means for sexual desires and this is found in lines 142-159.
A song that the wife of bath might like is, "Man I Feel Like a Woman" by Shania Twain. She would like it because it is about a strong and independent women who lives her life by her own ways and not the ways that people tell her.
"Let's go girls, come on
I'm going out tonight, I'm feelin' alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Want to make some noise, really raise my voice
Yeah, I want to scream and shout
No inhibitions, make no conditions
Get a little outta line
I ain't gonna act politically correct
I only want to have a good time
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy, forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts, short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action, feel the attraction
Color my hair, do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I want to be free yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
The girls need a break-tonight we're gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don't need romance, we only want to dance
We're gonna let our hair hang down
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy, forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts, short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action, feel the attraction
Color my hair, do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I want to be free yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy, forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts, short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action, feel the attraction
Color my hair, do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I want to be free yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
I get totally crazy
Can you feel it
Come, come, come on baby
I feel like a woman"
