Cause I don't really care. She's not notable for any reason than having a good single for hair metal.

If you call it sexist to mention them in the context of them being women then there simply wouldn't be a reason to mention them at all basically. You can point out Lydia Lunch, but that's one.

I like acoustic versions of hard rock songs.

No you can not and you are a liar if you claim otherwise. I mean seriously you're just a liar. A completely dishonest liar who is insulting women as much as you are punk with your politically self-serving bull****. You can name some women but no one being the slightest bit honest could do what you're claiming. You're a ****ing moron tbh if you think that naming a bunch of women in punk equals naming an equal amount of men in punk that is representational of a lack of gender gap in punk, but you're not claiming that, you're just claiming that you can name "a bunch of" women, which is completely dishonest.

What am I even arguing against tbh, beyond that you're an idiot who's bought into somebody's politically motivated nonsense that you probably thought sounded good?

Or is this just a troll that will end up being completely reasonable after sounding like nonsense?

How about these women, or riot grrrl as a genre in general?

PiL? How about The Slits

Joy Division? Siouxie Sioux

GoF? Delta 5

Yeah you just listed some women in punk and then listed some men in punk. This is the most intellectually dishonest **** I've ever seen and all I'd need to do is just start listing basically every single punk band ever to **** on you.

Are you really this ****ing stupid? You must be, cause to believe what you're claiming you'd have to be mentally retarded. Does anyone but elph need me to start listing punk bands to prove my point or does everyone else on this site already know that his point his mindlessly dumb?

If you were a random new member I'd just assume you were trolling, but I can legit believe that you're this clueless.

As far as rockers I'd add my vote for PJ Harvey. If you broaden the category slightly Neko Case has a great voice.

Maybe not "ever," but I've always liked Jenny Haan.

No you’re completely in the clear.

You can acknowledge the truth or believe what you wanna believe I guess.

You might as well have the WNBA against the NBA. It’s that stark. I mean, look at the names on here and we’re talking ALL TIME. Pound for pound my ass.
