I Just Write What I Want To

What (some) Bands Do Is Go, 'it's Not Important That I'm A Girl, It's Just Important That I Want To Rock.' And That's Cool. But That's More Of An Assimilationist Thing. It's Like They Just Want To Be Allowed To Join The World As It Is; Whereas I'm More Into Revolution And Radicalism And Changing The Whole Structure. What I'm Into Is Making The World Different For Me To Live In.

Women Didn't Want To Be On The Stage With Other Women Because They Didn't Want Their Bodies To Be Compared. They Didn't Want Another Female Act Opening For Them Because Of This Weird Competitive And Tokenistic Attitude.

I Have No Clue. I Just Know I Would Want To Play The Least Amount Of Shows That The Most People Would Be Able To Come To.

My Mom Was A Housewife, And Wasn't Somebody That People Would Think Of As A Feminist, And When Ms. Magazine Came Out We Were Incredibly Inspired By It. I Used To Cut Pictures Out Of It And Make Posters That Said, "girls Can Do Anything", And Stuff Like That, And My Mom Was Inspired To Work At A Basement Of A Church Doing Anti-domestic Violence Work. Then She Took Me To The Soidarity Day Thing, And It Was The First Time I Had Ever Been In A Big Crowd Of Women Yelling, And It Really Made Me Want To Do It Forever.

Younger Feminists Actually Care About Stuff That Came Before Them, The Same Way That I Totally Cared About And Loved And Felt So Lucky To Have Access To The Feminism That Came Before Me. To Have Younger People Take What Me And My Friends Have Done, And To Say 'we Have Access To That, But We're Going To Put That Through Our Own Internet Generation Filter And We're Going To Make It Into Something That Speaks To Us And Is A Lot Smarter.'
