Brian’s Mixtape #39: The Middleclass Myth of Love and Marriage
Brian’s an enlightened sort of owl, and this week he’s taken it upon himself to learn about Feminism. He’s realised it’s a rather complicated subject – probably because it tries to cater for the needs of over half of the population – and its advocates range from the properly batshit mental, to the totally unarguably correct. Tricky.
On the whole, though Brian’s decided he’s a proudly feminist owl (and if anyone says he can’t be just because he’s a boy, he’s quite willing to hoot them down) so he’s taking the title of this mixtape from probably the most famous writer in the genre, Ms Greer herself, and given a nod to some rather excellent women from the world of music in its contents.
