That's all Kathleen Hanna being Kathleen Hanna being Kathleen Hanna. She's got a long history of being a horrible catty gossip prone to extremist views and practices. Her music wouldn't be the same if she wasn't that way, but lord, she can be a terribly misguided person at times. Personally, I think the whole "women only" thing is just sexist bullshit, and then by excluding transexuals, it just makes matters worse. I understand their intentions, but two wrongs don't make a right, never.
Fun fact: the loft where I've been living was initially a punk rock venue til the landlord put an end to that a few months before I moved in. At one party hosted there, a bill of various female DJs played, and one, a friend of K. Hanna (who was present) was asked to stop playing after a half hour of her playing floor-clearing music that was prematurely ending the party...Hanna went on to use her vast gossip network to badmouth the place as a venue for art and music...meaning loads of girl bands would not play on bills there, they opted to instead play the militant feminist lesbian sex commune DUMBA down the street while all the bands full of boys (Les Savvy Fav, !!!, Orchid, etc) played where I've been...
I like Le Tigre, Julie Ruin, Bikini Kill, etc, but I think Kathleen Hanna is a bit of a jackass, honestly. |
