boys i love u with all of my heart and would happily take SEVERAL bullets for you but dont you think the main ''rule'' to being an independent woman in punk should be to, well, not be told how to live their lives by men who have no experience in what its like to live as a woman??

I’m sure this book will be inspiring and meaningful to Green Day’s fans, and no one can take that away from them. But if you’re going to claim to empower women with your book you should probably consider the optics of having no women involved in creating it.

I love Green Day but could we have had literally any of the overlooked women in this genre working on this book as well? Why do men always profit off of women bro idk.

Green Day publishing a book about women without incorporating women…sounds very unpunk to me, boys
