Gather Who Belongs
How dare you turn a space meant to be about unity into a
place that reflects the same old problems we face in
society? You claim that there is equality, but have you
asked the ones effected by your misogyny? No. There is no
excuses for creating an environment where our sisters are
made to feel self conscious, insecure, disrespected.
Constantly having to prove herself, faced with skepticism
and doubt. Being judged twice as hard, ignored but having
so much heart. Or, cat calls--humiliating! Being grabbed
at--so degrading! For everyone who believes in equality
STAND WITH US. For everyone opposed to patriarchy STAND
WITH US. Sexism comes in more forms than just violence
and rape; certain attitudes and words can alienate.
Gender's as arbitrary as race, no tolerance for
discrimination in our scene. There's still a need for
feminism, there was never any liberation. Given freedom
to be consumerists is not a radical movement. And it may
not be "cool" to stand against the crowd, DON'T LET THAT
HOLD YOU DOWN. Punk is about doing what's right even if
it means going against tha majority. This is not just a
womyn's issue, it's time for boys and girls alike to take
control of this matter, don't stand on the side in this
fight. Not one good reason for this sense of exclusion.
How did these traditional wiews get inside and start
running the shows here too? Let's FORCE THEM OUT.
