“These are just concepts that we talk about and embody anyway,” said Nokes. The hope, Nokes said, is to empower women by talking about topics often swept under the rug. They describe themselves as “feminist-sci-fi” and write lyrics about things like being on periods and getting catcalled. The benefit show is just a taste of the band’s interest in feminism. “So it felt really important to zero in on that one issue and blow it up as much as we could.” “Abortion is something that’s definitely on the line in an election like this,” said Nokes. All of the proceeds went to the Shout Your Abortion, a social media campaign, which is smaller than Planned Parenthood but more specific in scope-it creates a space for people to share and discuss stories about abortion, on the streets or online. This deeply ingrained misogyny is partly why Tacocat played a benefit show on the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration. As smaller, female-identifying people, they’d often get stomped on or disregarded, and rarely would anyone say anything about it. In the early days, they’d get labeled as “that one feminist punk band at the hardcore show,” said Emily Nokes, the band’s lead singer, which includes three females and one male. Tacocat, a feminist band based out of Seattle, has also felt the sweltering heat of sexism. The song lasts only a minute, but has garnered a considerable amount of media attention and amassed over half a million plays on the music-sharing service SoundCloud just a week after its release.Īnd Apple isn’t the only female musician to show her support for women. Her voice sits above a frantic piano riff as audio of Trump’s infamous “grab ’em by the pussy” comment loops over and over. “We don’t want your tiny hands anywhere near our underpants.” Gender equality is a human fight, not a female fightįighting for gender equality is not a responsibility for women only.“We don’t want your tiny hands anywhere near our underpants,” quips Fiona Apple in her anti-Trump protest song “Tiny Hands.” Apple recorded the vocals by phone and released the song last week, intending it as a chant for the Women’s March on Washington. Who needs gender rolls when we can have pizza rolls Words like masculinity, feminist, should cease to exist, and the way should be made for equality There should be no word like “feminism” or “machoism” in this world, only equalism Give her an equal opportunity, and you will see the benefit with your own eyes There is a ëmaní in every ëwomaní, a ëheí in every ësheí and a ëheroí in every ëheroineí. Every individual deserves to be treated well and treated right It is not a matter of job or race or height. It is better to learn to appreciate and not to discriminate a country built on good morals is a healthy one So who are we to differentiate when nature doesnít? Pledge for a better and healthier nation by stopping gender discrimination When the flower blooms, it blooms for everyone. When the sun goes up, it does so for everyone. While equity is readily achievable, we need to fight for equality We need both gender equity and gender equality for shaping a stabilized society. Why do we need gender roles when there are lip-smacking sushi rolls to enjoy? There will be peace and integrity in society, only when we make way for gender equality. Build a society that gives an equal opportunity to all Look around, and there are a lot more than masculine and feminine. Move ahead of stereotypical gender binaries. They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself The final graves that await at the end are however same for both. We always discriminate between the roles of men and women. Men, their rights, and nothing more women their rights, and nothing less Instead of merely celebrating our heroes only why donít we celebrate our sheíroesí too? When the sun rises, it rises for everyoneīoy and girl are like two eyes of a person having equal function Neither is superior nor better nor more intelligent nor more hard workingĪs long as there are words like gender floating around in society, there can be no real equality Treat every man and every woman as a human.
