LONDON -- Singer, songwriter and all-round Queen Charli XCX has made a documentary about feminism, and it's all you ever dreamed of and more.

Charlie XCX: The F-Word and Me aired last night on BBC Three and sees Charli chatting to the likes of Ryn Weaver, Jack Antonoff, Marina Diamandis and more, picking their brains on what feminism means in the 21 century's music industry.

"Girl power was my generation's introduction to feminism", Charli says, reminiscing about the Spice Girls -- before assessing whether Posh spice would wear a beret (she would).

Expectations and media representations are also covered on Charli's whistle stop tour of the f-word, as is touring as a woman ("It's always really nice to embarrass the boys you're with and be like 'OMG I'm on my period'").

Menstruation jokes aside, Charli also covers important topics like whether 'What's it like to be a woman in the music industry?' is an annoying question, why her band is so consistently gendered in write-ups and interviews, and how Rihanna is dismantling society's idea of what a pop star should be.

Charlie XCX: The F-Word and Me is available to watch now on BBC iPlayer and YouTube now.
