that grimes statement and music industry sexism

66 i dont want to be molested at shows or on the street by people who perceive me as an object that exists for their personal satisfaction 99

66 I’m tired of men who aren’t professional or even accomplished musicians continually offering to ‘help me out’ (without being asked), as if i did this by accident and i’m gonna flounder without them. or as if the fact that I’m a woman makes me incapable of using technology. I have never seen this kind of thing happen to any of my male peers 99

66 I’m tired of creeps on message boards discussing whether or not they’d “fuck” me 99 (particularly relevant to dis, where a message board that seems to posit itself as 'serious' and 'progressive' often devolves into these sorts of discussions??)
