“
A rape culture is a culture of intimidation. It keeps women afraid of being attacked and so it keeps women confined in the range of their behavior. That fear makes a women censor her behavior—her speech, her way of dressing, her actions. It undermines her confidence in her ability to be independent. The necessity to be mindful of one’s behavior at all times is far more than annoying. Women’s lives are unnecessarily constricted.
As a society, this one issue hampers the best efforts of half our population. It costs us heavily in lost initiative and in emotional energy stolen from other, more creative thoughts.
” —Emilie Buchwald, “Raising Girls for the 21st Century,” Transforming a Rape Culture, (1993)

Haunting, at times humorous, completely ridiculous, brilliant, a true classic from 1981. Definitely a game changer for the entire music scene.
