SISTERS OF THE REVOLUTION on the stream...

Our Manifesta!
It would appear to be that we are an organization of the post feminist era, culturally orientated, kind of slack, most definitely scrutinized for stealing from the best of the women who came before us. Yes, we are inspired by the 90s Riot Grrrl scene, the radical feminism of the 80s, the punk essence of the late 70s and the spirit of the great social changes that came before all these great empowering creative spurts of life, art and revelation.

Post feminism sucks. We are not a part of it. We are human beings with c***s who exercise our voices; we swiftly move our fingers over some beautiful six string, wrap our steely knuckles around a pair of drum sticks. We are exploring this new world where equal rights have supposedly almost arrived and we are pushing on the door of the mainstream, screaming in the ears of matchstick indie boys. Watch as they all come tumbling down.

Go on and buy a second hand guitar, or take up painting. Go and spray paint the appallingly low rape conviction rates somewhere for all to see, burn your bra and tell the world it isn’t over until we are in the public realm, until we are free (as expressed on the Sisters of Revolution website).
