Asking For It - Hole

Asking for it is a song I hold very close to my heart, it's from Hole's 1994 album 'Live Through This'. I have a lot of thoughts and feelings towards this song and would love to share them :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CW: mentions of SA - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Asking for it is a powerful and provocative track that delves deeply into the themes of victim blaming and sexual assault. It stands out as a raw and unapologetic point of view of societal attitude towards sexual assault. The song refuses to beat around the bush and acts as a blunt reminder of how we and the system treat victims, with the chorus having lyrics such as: "Was she asking for it, was she asking nice" The lyrics bluntly confront the notion of victims being to blame for the horrors that have been forced upon them. Even the title is as such to challenge the common narrative that survivors "asked for it". The songs lyrics passionately express the anger and frustration towards the culture we live in, the culture that never seems to change, the culture of victim blaming and letting rapists go scott free so they can live a perfect life despite taking away part of another. The musical composition of the song is perfect for the confrontational lyrics and intense subject matter. The opening is grungy and aggressive while Courtney Loves vocal delivery is fierce and vulnerable, adding some emotional depth towards the narrative. The mix of raw, distorted guitars and heart-wrenchingly emotive lyrics creates a mirror image to the complexity of the songs themes.

This song shows how truly powerful music is as despite being from the 90's it can still evoke feelings, emotions and conversation. As well as still being relevant to conversations that we still desperately need to have more today.

her witty remarks, charmingly awkward personality, lack of filter, and addiction to sex and masturbation has bewitched my body and soul

Fleabag, a Feminist Icon

I love the show fleabag with all my heart, it is an amazing piece of television which makes me feel so many emotions. I spent a lot of time pondering how this piece of art is involved/impacts/advocates for feminism and want to share my thoughts.

⁍ The use of breaking the fourth wall was a very poignant technique. It served as a commentary on the agency and autonomy of the female voice. Fleabag's direct engagement with the audience, while offering a deeper insight on the characters feelings thought and emotions, challenges the typical passive role female characters are given within story telling as she is an obviously active participant in HER narrative. ⁍ The show tackles often taboo subjects such as sex, a topic women have been shamed for talking about or indulging in for decades. Fleabag's unapologetic approach of her own desires and refusal to succumb to societal norms go against the stereotypical representation of women in television. Her sexual autonomy is a crucial aspect of her character and is never demoralised or shamed for her choices and instead encouraged to navigate her journey through validation and empowerment. ⁍ Fleabag also delves into the intricacies of female relationships. It views them of less of "gossipy" and more of a strong powerful sisterhood which is unlike what is usually presented in television. The shows central focus is on Fleabags relationship with her sister, not a man. It beautifully acknowledges the ups and downs of woman and sisterhood and shows that women are deeper than what is at face value. ⁍ It offers a critical examination of societal expectations placed upon women by showing the brutality of the guilt, grief, and self-worth issues Fleabag has to deal with which many other women can relate to. The show dismantles the typical perfect, put-together woman ,whom we are far to familiar with through all sorts of media, and instead presents a protagonist who is flawed, messy and REAL. It is a refreshing departure of the one dimensional female characters we are typically forced to indulge in. ⁍ The character of Fleabag challenges traditional gender roles and expectations by rejecting the idea that her worth is defined by her relationships with men or how well she adheres to social norms. The show is about HER journey of SELF-discovery and SELF-empowerment. This enforces the fact that a woman's narrative does need to revolve around conforming to societal expectations.

The show is a ground-breaking representation of feminism in contemporary media. Through its innovative narrative, unapologetic exploration of female sexuality, and nuanced portrayal of female relationships, the show defies stereotypes and provides a platform for authentic, multifaceted female characters. I highly recommend anyone to watch the show as it was a breath of fresh air.
