Mastodon are up for two Revolver Golden God awards - Brann Dailor for Best Drummer and Crack the Skye for best album!
I started filling this out for shiggles, and then I reached the “Hottest Chicks in Metal” category and stopped. The way females are fetishized in metal is really disturbing to me. It’s cool if you actually like these bands, but most people like women in metal because it’s novel and they have tits, not because they may actually have talent. There is no reason this category couldn’t have been called “Best Female Vocalist” (or something of that nature) instead. Blah. I think this may be my equivalent to Annie’s distaste for “bike porn.”
agree 100%. it’s my same problem with metalgoddesses, most of the women there are from bands I would never listen to. The women in kickass bands that I love to death - never wind up in these lists. Also? ”hottest” is not an indicator of anything related to metal. Best may be subjective, but it’s still closer to having meaning, rather than “hottest”

because the author thinks fifteen year old girls should be thinking about uhh…
And so that’s what I hope for my hypothetical unborn children, whether it’s from Gaga or another powerhouse female who owns it on stage: pop music that shuns tired Dawson Leary cliché in favor of your drama, disease, love, revenge, and (when you’re ready) your dangerous ambisexual kiss in the motherfucking sand.
If this person has a daughter some day we’ll see if she really wants to push the ideas of drama, disease, revenge and ambisexual sand kisses or whatever the fuck on her. I think her tune will change.
I’m not saying I love Taylor Swift’s music because I honestly have never heard one of her songs. I’m just saying that fifteen year old girls are still girls. They’re not young adults, they’re not women, they’re not even seventeen. They’re still kids. Let them be kids without pushing sexuality at them at every turn.
I love when people who don’t have kids are always going on about how they are going to be the “cool” parent and make sure their kids are cool and punk and anti-establishment and all fuck you society because the second you become a parent that shit goes out the window.
Nobody’s telling you your daughter has to think about sex at 15. But. If other girls at your daughters school do, she should not start slut-shaming just because Taylor Swift does it. I think you missed the large point of the article - not that Taylor Swift teaches girls to think about something other than sex - it’s that Taylor Swift teaches the Madonna/Whore complex straight out of a right-wing, fundamentalist, anti-sex, anti-womyn, abstinence-only playbook.

Still really need to see this movie.
it was unintentionally hilarious
I’d heard that the misogyny was rampant in the film, which is part of why I didn’t see it in the theater. If there’s humor in recognizing it, then that’s better, at least.
