No, No, Don't Worry. Sexism is Pretty Much Over.

[Dr. Medulla]

Interesting. I must say when I saw Bikini Kill recently it was heartening to see a young batch of teens/women there to see the band. Obviously none were students of Dr M's boring class

In a weird illustration of the "girls to the front" principle, one young woman who showed up late but was interested was in the back row and had a hard time looking around a big guy.

Im constantly in the way of people but I do let some people in front of me. Im not going all the way to the back though. Get there earlier if you want to be closer.

Patriarchal monster!

Ive never prevented a woman from making her way forward but I have boxed out many assholes.

Women can be assholes, too, you male chauvinist pig!

Women get punk's possibilities better than men. I truly believe that.

Completely unsurprising, but sad. All these gatekeeping men are exactly who you'd think they would be if they weren't attached to a "transgressive" alternative culture.

Also—not an excuse but explanatory context—the 1970s was very in flux in terms of sexual conduct. A revolt against taboos of all sorts—gay sex, orgies, swinging, race mixing—also opened up adult-minor "relationships." Not all taboos need be ended, but those kinds of cultural rebellions achieve a motivating logic of their own.

Fowley was a straight-up predator from way back.

I may have mentioned this before, but I have become friendly (online) with Jackie Fox of the Runaways through our J! connection. She kicks ass - smart as all fuck. Anyway, she has been calling them out for YEARS. This is an interesting article. And incredibly sad. https://highline.huffingtonpost.com/art ... ost-girls/

I'm pretty sure I've read that before. Maybe you posted it years ago? But, yeah, fucking well nasty. It makes some sense that the worst people go into the music business because there are so many young and naive kids who are willing to trust anyone who says they'll make them a star. The bait and trap are just there, waiting to be employed.
