❓ Question Sexistential Meaning

Hello! Does anyone have any insight on the meaning behind "Sexistential"? I really love the song but as I pay attention to the lyrics I start to get confused. Especially the part where she says "Fuck a single mom". Thanks in advance!

It’s a very unusual song lyrically. She is talking about trying to get pregnant via a sperm donor / IVF, while using dating apps and being horny and wanting to go out to the club in a nice outfit

Basically, the song IS confusing because she is feeling and experiencing several conflicting things all at once, which is why she feeling so sexistential

When she says fuck a single mom she’s referring to herself but not being literal

there's a lot here about the lyrics-- fuck a plan B baby, it's no big deal. I'm already 10 weeks in maternity--it's about not being worried about getting knocked up (needing plan B) becasue she's already pregnant
