i tend to agree more with these women. mostly i'd rather just not talk at all about "women in music." but then again, misogyny prevails in the indie rock scene. i think though it has more to do with people still recognizing women as a novelty in music, and not just fucking accepting that women are people men are people trannies are people dogs are people get over it people let's just make music. that goes for you too ladies...
