The Punk Singer (2013)
Interesting but biased and frankly lame
Kathleen Hanna, the talented lead of a 90's punk band makes waves appealing to a niche audience of punk rock fans that admire or agree with a feminist stance. No, stop...it wasn't the music (aside from her)turning people off - it was because the group is admittedly horrible and unapologetic about it.
I'm not invested in this film, nor have I ever heard of them. I just find it odd that Kathleen scrawls "Incest" on her chest before live shows and then bemoans the consequence when people think she suffered from it. (go figure).
This was during the 90's? What serious systemic anti-feminist movements were occurring?
She goes on to state her boyfriend made jokes around inequality. So she dates him on the sly for years.
I would never sexualize this woman. I don't need to, to make her and the band to become irrelevant.
