I'm making a CD for a friend, with all feminist music. Heres what I have so far:


Propagandhi- Ladies Night In Loserville
Propagandhi- Fuck Machine
Propagandhi- This Might Be Satire
Aus Rotten- The Second Rape
Fugazi- Suggestion
Tupac- Keep Ya Head Up
Sleater Kinney- Modern Girl
Queen Latifah- U.N.I.T.Y.
Crass- Bata Motel
Tank Girl- Eh Bhau

Any suggestions?

A feminist mix tape that's a little short on female artists i think!

i notice kathleen hanna's totally absent too. fix that and add some bikini kill/le tigre/juli ruin. Carrie Brownstein was in another band called Excuse 17 that would probs be a good fit for this thing too.

tupac was a possibly a rapist and for sure a misogynist, great musician but does not belong on this list

I was thinking the same thing. There are feminist women musicians in many genres (including punk/rock) out there. I've seen at least a few do local shows where I used to live, I think. Look harder OP!

This is about women taking sexual iniciative and not giving a shit if people think that it's ugly.

Bambu is one of my favorite hip-hop artists (if not my favorite)
This one is about a Filipino woman raped by US soldiers. Very good track.

I had never heard anything by him before, but I saw that song was recommended. So you might be right about that.

I'm asking for suggestions, and you're telling me that I don't have the right music? I didn't intentionally leave out female artists, that's why I'm asking for songs.

He clearly wasn't an angel by any stretch and I'd agree that at least his language is often misogynistic but there are a lot of doubts around the charges of rape and wasn't he found not guilty? (not 100% sure cuz I learned about it years ago and have forgotten the details)

I think that dispite his clear faults he did speak on the subject of empowering women and respecting women so I don't think it'd be wrong to take a song or 2 with a clearly positive pro-women message.

The song I put in was very anti-rape, so I'm surprised to hear he might have been a misogynist.
