I love her so much, she makes me so proud to be a girl going on to be a woman. I wish more women like Kathleen Hanna was making music today, today it's all about stupid pop singers and daisy dukes and skin tight jeans and being some date rapists' sex toy. In the 90's it was about women's rights and doing it yourself and feminism and taking control and talking about incest and jumping into the pit with guys and girls and guys and girls. Today is about showing ur ass on youtube and being a FB slut
