A lot more handy than a man
Let her crash, break, and burn
She is oh so keen to learn

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gustav's song Total Quality Woman seem to be an ironic commentary on society's objectification and mistreatment of women. The opening lines describe this "total quality woman" as being "culturally engineered," suggesting that she has been created to fit a certain standard of what a woman should be - likely one that is focused on her appearance and usefulness to men.


The following lines describe her as being "downsized, pent up, canopied, just-in-time," which could represent a sense of confinement and pressure placed on women to conform to these societal standards. The repetition of "just-in-time" emphasizes the idea of being ready and available on demand.


The song further dehumanizes this woman by comparing her to a machine, with "tedious, repetitive & straining, manual labor - harnessed to the speed of electronic machines." The lyrics suggest that she is expected to be "proper" and "flexible & caring," but only in service to men.


The final lines of the song advertise a product called the "QW-PRO," which is described as a highly advanced and customizable version of this "total quality woman." This adds to the sense that women are being treated as mere objects to be used and discarded as desired.


Overall, Gustav's Total Quality Woman is a thought-provoking critique of societal attitudes towards women, highlighting the objectification, dehumanization, and mistreatment that many women continue to face.
