Love Music, Hate Kyriachy
Comments (0) I have absolutely unconditionally fallen in love with Wallis Bird's new album this week. I like a nice bit of happy and bittersweet Girl with Guitar stuff and this one is just the mood I needed this week. She's got a ridiculously happy new single out called To My Bones which is perfect for those times you've just got to shout 'Let's Get Happy".
Especially when shit like this comes to your attention. Got some posts here for you by a friend of mine at DirtySilverRings and Bint Ashamsa at My Private Casbah on the incredibly shitty treatment that Feminist Fightback got at this year's Reclaim the Night march in London. Calling the Police in to deal with a sex workers rights collective peacefully attending a womans rights march has so many things wrong with it I just don't even know where to fucking begin.
I am becoming increasingly sympathetic towards friends of mine like Lamasu who are up for fighting the kyriachy but don't want anything to do with feminism at all because this kind of shit just never seems to stop and I can't be doing with it.
Still, as someone who is (from their perspective) on entirely the wrong side with this one, I doubt they want anything to do with me too so maybe that's a win/win.
