YOU'RE A ROADBLOCK, DRESSED LIKE A SOLUTION - THE JULIE RUIN

I recently watched a great documentary by one of my personal hero's Kathleen Hanna. It's called "The Punk Singer" it's worth a watch but if you don't have the time fast forward to 1:15:10 with about 6 mins left in the film.

"...I just think there's this certain assumption that when a man tells the truth it's the truth. And when as a women I go to tell the truth I feel like I have to negotiate the way I will be perceived. I feel like there always is the suspicion around a woman's truth, the idea that you are "exaggerating" I don't just sit there and be like "this, this, this, this", there's this whole fear that I'm going to have finally fucking stepped up to the plate and told the truth and someone's going to say "Ahhhh, I don't think so"

Now for your listening pleasure only (with lyrics):
