Riot Grrls - (wo)manifesto






Riot Grrrl subculture of neo-feminist punk women in their late teens and early twenties created a flourishing nationwide underground network. This movement roots began as early as 1976. They are doing this without leadership, at the underground level, and outside of the academic institutions.



A group called 7 Year Old Bitch (part of the Riot Grrl movement) have a song called "Dead Men Don't Rape"
"I don't have pity not a single tear
For those who get joy from a woman's fear
I'd rather get a gun and just blow you away
Then you'll learn first hand
Dead men don't rape"

Although I am not one for violence, I am in favor of shaking up mainstream media's messages.
