Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Article on Shirley Manson, Rock Goddess...! (lemmy.ml)

Hope this is allowed here?

Here's a really cool article in The Guardian today on Shirley Manson from the band Garbage (my favourite band, and Shirl is an absolute goddess!)

She talks about being a music icon, misogyny and hip replacements..... and they have a new album out!!

I've always loved her no bullshit down to earth approach to life 🤘

Also, it's really weird, but nice having an icon from my youth talking about things like hip replacements, I still think of her (and myself) as being in our 20's and indestructible, when we're now both older, peri and post menopausal, and still rocking out

I'm hoping they tour, I missed the last one

Anyone else her love Shirley and Garbage? Or PJ Harvey, Bjork, Tori?

I love all of those. My guess is we both are xenial women :) I don't know if it's the 40s and nostalgia hitting me like a truck but I've been listening to mostly music from my teens these days. I even created a community for xenials on lemmy.ca and a playlist that I keep updating whenever I remember songs that are missing. And I realize now that I didn't put any Tori Amos on there (shame on me 😅)

I'm not on Spotify, but I hope Tori Amos Professional Widow is on there ... I was mostly about clubbing music at that time, so hopefully you've got every track from Music for the Jilted Generation on there too :-P

Gen Xer! Music was so good back then lol

I was talking with my bf about this and he says music is still good now, which it it (I'm not as involved nowadays) but it's not as accessible ie in the charts and radio playlists (jesus, I'm fucking old!)

Love the playlist btw, so many great songs taking me back to being at college
