Bitch, a feminist magazine, published the article “Horning In — The case for feminist metal” in their fall 2008 issue. It talks about famous women in metal and why women should play metal, as well as the parts of metal that are pro-feminist.

Why does sex matter? Just because women are taught in our culture to clutch to ideas and concepts that are, well, far away from the introductory stages of metal listening, doesn’t mean they cannot choose to listen to metal anyway. Metal is universal to all those with a will and intellect, and anyone reading this website should know this.
And no one involved in metal wants women who read this magazine to play metal, simply because the far left feminist agenda is at odds with the majority of metal and its philosophies. This article is only one piece on why (feminist) women should ‘invade’ and ‘change’ metal and the world. Articles and other forms of media get created for this same thing all the time in not just in music, but in politics, sports, television, schools, etc., in order to ‘change’ the world (to their own agenda).
I fail to see why this article was posted without some kind of ridicule attached.

Hear, hear. Why aren’t you telling me what to think anymore, anus.com?
this is the first post i have seen in a while were someone not’s whining “oh no there ruining metal we must purify wahh wahh they don’t have the essential framework dyanamical spirit in them it’s just an imitation…HIPSTERS.”
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who ever said anyone was telling anyone what to think? If people that read this website follow blindly what others on this website say, then that’s their problem. It has nothing to do with the information given.
Yeah, it’s probably a joke I presume.
I have to agree with the Cumlord (lol!). What information is presented on this website is just that, information only. If the information is something contradictory to your worldview than consider apathy, as that wastes much less resources and time than enraged responses. Besides, an angry response belies insecurity, as far as I am concerned.
too bad every rock or metal band with a chick in it has sucked. not to sound sexist, but it’s true. and all-girl bands are always the worst.
I resent all the collectivist feminists and their absurd claims. As an individualist feminist (ala Dora Marsden, Wendy McElroy) I have just as much a problem with ‘far left feminism’ as I do with any other crypto-Communist bullshit.
I certainly think women should listen to and play metal, as far as they are interested. I think it is true that some people in metal are anti-feminist, but given the utter mental deficiency of mainstream Feminism (i.e., political correctness with tits) it’s hard to blame them.
