feminismwecandoit:“I think people just need to change the verbiage and the way that they describe music and the way that they look at women in music. I definitely felt growing up that I wasn’t an equal and I never understood why. You know, I jammed with a bunch of guys and sometimes they wouldn’t even let me jam. I’d even hear from dudes that were just like, “Yeah, women can play music, but it’s not rock music. There’s a place for women in music, but it’s not in the rock world.” I played a rock instrument, I played the bass. And I was flabbergasted. At that time, I was kind of scared to really stand up for myself. But now I’m not fucking scared. I’m not scared to stand up for myself in that regard at all.” - Este Haim of the rockband Haim -- source link
