lmao this quote is killing me. hardcore sucks in regards to gender because women are embedded in these scenes and employing strategies to maintain their own sanity and/or are reaching for (and failing) to be taken seriously on their own terms. it is their fault punk is oblivious to gender and feminism. get ooovvveerr yourself. conscious raising should be taking the initiative to open up these musicians to a new possibility but of course they are going to be hostile if you are out the gate calling them delusion and unfeminist- these are your peers!! or they are the woman who were there before you!!!

#this but then compare to the way like tobi vail talks about the fucking go-gos lmaoooooooooooooo #earlier there was a tobi quote about how all girl bands that want to not be seen as unserious actually suck and the bands are unamed which #i find fun and ironic. bet you a hundred dollars she was refering to fire party #the general dismissiveness to fire party is so stricking to me. only pickering has been mentioned by name so far #and marcus kind of half-assed the credit with revolution summer- the quote about coining the season (instead of directly being its catalyst)#is really insufficient imo AND more importantly none of the other women. who were all connected to dc! are named!!!#further fueling these womens erasure in music history its so infuriating #i just dont think its worthwhile to pretend alllll sorts of women with varying opinions existed throughout punk #even like lefty in dc who was a black skinhead woman who beat the shit out of people. like there are dimensions! thats worth documenting.#my posts
