Just Because You're Wearing A Goofy Hat

I Realized That Calling Yourself A Feminist Or Not Calling Yourself A Feminist, Just By Being In A Band Of All Girls, It's All You Talk About.

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.'

I Don't Appreciate It When Women - Or Men - Bandy About These Stupid Stereotypes About Feminism That Are Age-old, And That Are Meant To Keep People Turned Off From It. It's Like, "all You Have To Do Is Wikipedia Feminism To Know That It's Not About Man-hating - So Shut Up." That Makes Me Annoyed.

I Like Loud Snare, And I Like Really Treble-y Guitars, And That's Just Never Going To Change.
