People are a Trip #21: Kathleen Hanna and Idols

Kathleen Hanna is obsessed with female singers. And she can spin like a ballerina. 'People are a Trip' is a series by Kill Rock Stars spoken-word artist Juliana Luecking. The premise is simple, she asks people blunt questions, and they answer with the truth of the moment. They are hilarious. No, poetic. Well, maybe quite philosophical.

[flordemagda]

KH is the only one who gets to talk like a bratty teenage Val! All you other girls, TALK NORMAL!

@lilkush909 Sex is disgusting? I get your point about just seeing her as a hottie, but you are on the slippery slope of reinforcing the stereotypes of butch lesbianism and man-hating feminism. (fyi she isn't a lesbian, she's married to Adam Horovitz...lucky bastard :)

[piemakesmelol]

You inspired Kurt to write the anthem for a generation....you rule!!!

[lilkush909]

i hate it when i read these comments abt kathleen viewed by men as something to have sex with. shes a feminist and a lesbian. she would never fuck any of you guys. ugh why cant people just say that she was a great role model or a talented leading woman? this is exactly what kathleen was against. but you guys claim that shes great and a hero. while you say these disgusting thing abt her

[jas22]

this is a few years old, but it seems kathleen still has a joie de vivre, kidlike way about her. in other words, she aint no primadonna sellout. i love people like that.

Man... for the girl who wrote "Kurt smells like teen spirit" on Cobain's wall, she sure looks a lot better than Courtney Love two decades (+) later.

I would pound Kathleen Hanna like beer on spring break! :D

@QueenJuliana I saw her speak last night at my school (Old Dominion University). I really enjoyed it. Got to meet her afterwards. The whole thing was a great experience.
