about

It seems like in recent years, the ideal of Anti-Sexism has lost relevance in the Punk/Hardcore scene, just as society as a whole is turning increasingly hostile towards feminist values. While many bands, gig collectives or autonomous centers cite ‘Anti-Sexism’ in their lists of -isms they are supposedly against, unfortunately not much practice seems to come from it.
I find it important to understand that Sexism is not an ideology that we can simply reject by adding the prefix ‘Anti-‘ in front of the term; it is a set of social relations, and as such, we have to reflect our behavior and ourselves first. But we don’t have to do so all on our own – let’s unite and truly fight sexism, together, and regardless of our genders!

lyrics

you expect me to laugh at all your sexist jokes,
to agree to the stereotypes you evoke.
think i think the same because i am a 'man',
don't you take for granted my silent consent!
disillusioned like never before,
society's backlash doesn't stop at our door.
Thought i'd found a shelter from society's restrains,
a place to live our lives without causing pain.

we grew up with traditions of
inequality.
it starts with you to break the mold,
and it starts with me.

<Chorus:>
punk's not just a boys thing
you know it but we must say it again
listen up now, this is a wake-up call
we must create a space to liberate us all

Retrogression, you know we've seen it all before,
society's backlash comes in through the back door.
i'm growing tired of banging my head against a wall:
we don't want no sexists in the dancehall!
but where's the revolution girl style gone?
i know you're there, but no longer visible.
know you don't need us to tell you what's wrong,
but you are needed still, together we are strong.

let me tell you, mr punk rock
i will not get stuck
in your gender exclusive boys club
cause living like that would be truly fucked up.
