Charli XCX : Ugh bout (sic) 2 step up on 2 ur face. Women are making AMAZING music right now wtf (what the f**k) is this dude talking about ?????"

Pink : Women in music don’t need to 'step up'. Women have been stepping since the beginning of time (sic). Stepping up, and also stepping aside. Women OWNED music this year. They’ve been KILLING IT. And every year before this.
When we celebrate and honour the talent and accomplishments of women, and how much women STEP UP every year, against all odds, we show the next generation of women and girls and boys and men what it means to be equal, and what it looks like to be fair.
