Women vs Men Names in Music

Sorry for not posting much...I ran out of nice things to say, so decided to say nothing at all. (actually, I've just been busy)

I did want to share my deep thought of the day from yesterday. I noticed that there are dozens of songs romanitcizing a particular woman: Jenny I got your number, My Sharona, Anna Begins, Darling Nikki, etc...etc...

Female singers on the other hand, tend to use a generic "he/him/my guy" and don't contextualize to an individual. (noteworthy exception: Bobbie McGee)

I'm sure this says something deep and meaningful about society or the differences between the sexes, but I haven't figured out what.
