When bigots have got me down and I need to scream and air guitar it out, I turn to Screaming Females, my favorite powerThe 20th Century political scientist Karl Deutsch said, “Power is the ability not to have to learn.”I quote this statement often, because I think it’s one of the most important… More trio of all time and space. Marissa Paternoster is an epic force on vocals and guitar. Here she is singing about genderDue both to their ability to denaturalize social norms and to their neurological differences, autistic individuals can offer novel insights into gender as a social process. Examining gender from an… More non-conformity and homophobia, screaming “While you sit on the fence I will burn in hell” over and over from the depths of her soul.
Legend.

When she was 19 She had a fever But the office was now closed When she was 19 Pushing the window Into her parent's home Is that your boyfriend Is that your girlfriend With all this nonsense Prevent confusion She is our miscreant She is our detox She is our dagger in the dark She is the knot mess She is the undressed She is the boy borne in my heart While you sit on the fence I will burn in hell

And the lyrics don’t disappoint the riffs.
My visions have been lies
Deep fire in the sky
A sound that turns the mountains into sand
The dirt that won’t wash clean
The blade that splits the team
The holy war that breaks your shell

Without these gods and heroes
Whose words will hold you hostage
His canvas choked with words
Drops of inks to douse a desert fire
It brought us back to page
I see myself in bondage
Outside a house in flames
I’m blessed to burn into a desert fire

I dressed up the horses, set them loose
Sunk the needle deep and took in every drop
A violent path, an inch in time
An error, my device the anchor drops
I said peel the skin raw
I said peel the skin raw
I said peel the skin raw
Pinch ’til the feeling’s gone
