Glam as a Feminist Statement

So I wrote this little essay awhile ago, it's about glam metal (the 80s stuff, though some of my points apply to earlier glam as well) has interesting connections to feminism

I really enjoyed your essay. Totally agree with your take on glam!dudes. It really does take a lot of guts to go out in makeup and glitter :D And the glam!women are impressive and inspiring for the strength with which they present themselves. :)

Unquestionably

Well, I don't have anything to say about this except She's No Angel is actually by the Heavy Metal Kids and I'd say is more about pre-punk nihilist aesthetics of gleeful destruction of old fashioned values and also, of course, COMEDY VALUE.

Ah, I suppose you're right
