Bikini Kill

*************************



Bikini Kill is a band and this is our little thing to give out at shows, etc. AND THEN THERE’S THE REVOLUTION.



Bikini Kill is more than just a band or a zine or an idea, it’s a part of the revolution. The revolution is about going to the playground with your best girlfriends. You are hanging upside down on the bars and all the blood is rushing to your head, it’s an euphoric feeling. The boys can see our underwear and we don’t care.



I’m so sure that lots of girls are also in revolution and we want to find them. Sure our revolution has a lot to do with making ourselves important enough to start a revolution, but we also don’t care about this. Because what makes us feel good without hurting others IS good. This society isn’t my society cuz this society hates women and I don’t. This society doesn’t want us girls to feel happy or powerful in any way.



My girlfriends help me stop crying and start looking towards whats important (revolution), my girlfriends know the revolution (sex), my girlfriends aren’t owned by me BUT have cringing and choking on boy cum in common (revolution). MY GIRLFRIENDS WANT REVOLUTION GIRL STYLE NOW.



Being sexy and powerful female is one of the most subversive projects of all. (We are the priestesses of a new kind of power, oh yeah.)



We know we are not like this due to any weird gene formation or luck or trick. We are how we are from working together with our eyes open and having experience and getting help from out Moms and friends. We vow to struggle against the "j" word (jealousy) the killer of GIRL LOVE. We are not special, anyone can do it. ENCOURAGEMENT IN THE FACE OF INSECURITY is a slogan of the revolution.
