Also, punk pioneer Kathleen Hanno.
With her band Bikini Kill, she helped form a movement challenging the misogyny in punk in the 90s.
You know, kind of B versions of the Sex Pistols, you know, straight white guys who are like, I'm gonna spit on you.
And it just was like a lot of toxic masculinity disguised as radicalness.
That's coming up on FRESH AIR weekend.
