silentpunk:

to see all these loyal female fans in the punk scene following man-band after man-band after gravelly-voiced man-band, going to gig after gig where not a single woman gets up on stage. Because that’s all it takes to belong in the punk scene, you’ll always have to work harder and ostracise yourself…

fucking sad face.  no sarcasm!  i feel like very little progress has been made on this front in my 20ish punk rock years and it is a total bummer.
