FUCKING HEROINES. Von unfuckable zu unfuckable WITH ! Autobiographisches Schreiben von Frauen im Punk/Rock

This article seeks to inspect how and what women in (punk)rock write (about) themselves and their experiences in such a traditionally male-dominated scene. Aside from brief fashions thanks to movements such as Riot Grrrl, female punk rock icons have been few and far between and almost always had to contend with gender stereotypes aimed at raising girls to please others rather than raising their voices, let alone get angry – that cardinal sin in a female. What needs to be done today, in 2019, to challenge and change that status quo towards true empowerment ? Which voices do we need to hear more of to redress the imbalance of heteronormativity, misogyny and racism that pervades heavier music genres still ? – An attempt at inspiration for girls and women to become unfuckable with – rather than remaining trapped in the world of the male gaze where fuckability is still seen as our only real currency.
