'even though I think "riot grrrl" is a borderline misogynistic term, in the sense that they're only pointing out gender in the first place. Almost like they're saying "yeah, they're women, but they can still rock!" '
I wouldn't necessarily say that. I think the term stemmed from their disenchantment with the position of women in society, so basically it was a call for action. So the term is to be taken literally - riot. girls.

Yeah that makes sense. I'll definitely watch it eventually, since it is a topic of interest and I have massive respect for the movement itself, I was just uncertain regarding the origins of the title

"Forsure, even though I think "riot grrrl" is a borderline misogynistic term, in the sense that they're only pointing out gender in the first place. Almost like they're saying "yeah, they're women, but they can still rock!"
Since you've seen the documentary, was it the bands themselves that came up with the label, or was it the publications/critics/etc.?"
It was a self given term.

Skimmed through the Wiki page earlier, must've accidentally skipped that part somehow.
Pappy was right, it was derived from the name of a magazine, thanks for reminding me to double-check

"but how? :/ i think i like the first song quite a bit actually."
I dunno, everytime you comment on an album you have basically the opposite reaction than I would have
guessed. Which is fine btw, that was not a slight against you.
"Forsure, even though I think "riot grrrl" is a borderline misogynistic term, in the sense that they're only
pointing out gender in the first place. Almost like they're saying "yeah, they're women, but they can still
rock!" "
political correctness overload.
