lyrics
Fuck your double standard
Frailty and strength, rooted definitions of discrimination
Defined by what’s between our legs, reduced to body and flesh
Gender is power, controlled and belittled
Shift is progress. Your traditions need to be put to rest
Why was I taught that I was the one?
When one is not born a woman, but becomes one
One is not born a chauvinist pig; I'd rather be dead than be one of them
I wouldn’t dare to walk in those shoes
If these are your standards.
I am not a man and I’m nothing like you.
We’ve been fed this narrative for far too long
And I’m sick of playing this game.
Let's try to change the world for those who refuse to
We’re going to change this world no matter what they want
Blinded by crosses and dollar signs
If I despise what they’re selling
Then why the fuck am I buying it?
Pre-defined gender for a pre-defined life
We need to deprogram ourselves
Unlearn / For Equality
Unlearn / For Justice
Learn / To take a step back
EN: There’s a lot to be said about straight white men speaking about sexism in a male-dominated scene; but it is imperative that we, as men, realize and take into account how our privilege keeps enforcing the status quo and contributes to gender inequality. We’ve been told since birth that we have value and that our needs need to be fulfilled, while women have to prove their worth on a daily basis and are told they are here to fulfill men’s needs. While unfair gender roles are placed on every gender, there is an undeniable imbalance that is still to this day not fully recognized and accepted by most. Whether or not you consider yourself “an ally”, “a feminist”, or “a good guy”, you are still part of a system that marginalizes women and other groups. We can never really remove ourselves from the privilege of our gender, but understanding and assuming responsibility regarding how our general behavior weights in the balance is pivotal in moving forward towards gender equality. Men have dominated the conversation for far too long on this issue, and it is time we contribute in taking apart the institutionalized power struggle exerted on women in our society.

FR: Quoi que l’on puisse dire sur le fait d’être des hommes blancs hétéros qui parlent de sexisme dans une scène à dominance masculine, il parait impératif, en tant qu’hommes, que nous prenions conscience et tenions compte de la manière dont se manifeste le privilège que nous confère notre genre, ainsi que son rôle en tant que vecteur d’inégalité entre les sexes et de perpétuation du statu quo. Nous entendons depuis notre naissance que nous sommes importants et que nos désirs doivent être comblés, alors que les femmes doivent quotidiennement prouver leur valeur et on leur dit qu’elles sont ici pour combler les désirs des hommes. Bien que des stéréotypes injustes affectent tous les genres, il existe aujourd’hui encore un fossé indéniable entre les sexes qui n’est toujours pas reconnu par la majorité. Que l’on se considère ou non comme étant « un allié », « un féministe », ou « un mec bien », nous faisons tout de même partie d’un système qui marginalise les femmes, ainsi que d’autres groupes. Nous ne pouvons pas complètement nous défaire des privilèges que nous confère notre genre, mais comprendre et être conscient de la façon dont notre comportement fait pencher la balance est essentiel pour se rapprocher d’une égalité entre les genres. Les hommes dominent les discussions sur ce thème depuis bien trop longtemps, il est temps de déconstruire les relations de pouvoir institutionnalisées qui sont exercées sur les femmes dans notre société.
It's a departure from their previous work, with many songs actually "slower" than earlier records, but still bringing the same energy and feeling. le monsieur
A friend with a reliably fine musical taste posted this album on FB and I wasn't disappointed. Love the guitar sound and the passionate vocals (melodic enough to not pass as screamo or whatever). Punk rock spirit yet with a lot of dynamics (definitely a yes to the Dischord reference) and compact songs that won't leave your head for a long time. Many many
great tunes on here but for the moment USMA and Lay Low have to be my favorites! Great band, very happy to have found them! perpendikel
