Fact #132147
When:
Short story:
In an interview on the BBC Radio show Woman's Hour, Chrissie Hynde criticises some modern female singers, describing them as 'sex workers' for selling their music by 'bumping and grinding' in their underwear. Full article:
Chrissie Hynde : I don’t think sexual assault is a gender issue as such, I think it’s very much it’s all around us now.
It’s provoked by this pornography culture, it’s provoked by pop stars who call themselves feminists. Maybe they’re feminists on behalf of prostitutes – but they are no feminists on behalf of music, if they are selling their music by bumping and grinding and wearing their underwear in videos.
I think it’s provocative in a way that has nothing to do with music. I would say those women are responsible for a great deal of damage.
