danielleh: Do you respond positively or negatively to the term “feminist”? I’m a militant feminist. So I would say I respond positively to it. At what point did you become aware that it was “different for girls” in the world of rock & roll? It’s not! It’s not! Who says that? Does Jann Wenner say that? Is that a rule? It’s a load of shit! Fuck that! It’s a lie. That question lessens me and makes me defensive. Like, any frontier, there’s going to be all sorts of doors to kick down and all sorts of people to kick in the head and all sorts of people to clang bells in their ears and wake them up and stomp on them and be warriors and move along.

I’m a militant feminist. So I would say I respond positively to it.

At what point did you become aware that it was “different for girls” in the world of rock & roll?

It’s not! It’s not! Who says that? Does Jann Wenner say that? Is that a rule? It’s a load of shit! Fuck that! It’s a lie. That question lessens me and makes me defensive. Like, any frontier, there’s going to be all sorts of doors to kick down and all sorts of people to kick in the head and all sorts of people to clang bells in their ears and wake them up and stomp on them and be warriors and move along.
