I'm Not Going To Sit Around And

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.

My Original Goal In The '90s, After I Found Feminism And I Was The First Generation In My Family To Go To College, Was To Spread This Information That Feminism Was Still Very Much Alive, And That You Can't Believe The Media Telling You That It Doesn't Need To Exist And That It Doesn't Exist.

I'm Not That Interested In Female Superheroes.

Every Band I've Been In, It's Just Become My Total Life. I Feel Like A Child Star - I've Missed Out On So Much.

I Can't Constantly Be Trying To Write The Unwritten Song, The Song That The 15-year-old Girl Needs. I Need To Write The Song That I Need.
