No one's female and male, we all have so many different traits. It's just a lie that these certain traits are male and these certain traits are female.

More quotes by Kathleen Hanna
I think that the Internet is really cool because a lot of young feminists don't feel like they have to reinvent the wheel.
Kathleen Hanna
The cool thing about the Internet is that it's allowing women more access to their own history.
Kathleen Hanna
I'm more interested in a feminism that ends discrimination for all people. It's not just about a woman becoming the CEO of a company or something. It's connected to racism and classism and gender issues that go beyond the binary.
Kathleen Hanna
I'm a very binary person in a bad way where it's like everything is either totally great or totally awful.
Kathleen Hanna
I think that feminism is in cycle. Feminism rotates between backlash and interest.
Kathleen Hanna
What I've heard from younger women and women my age is that the albums changed their lives or it was the first time they had heard feminism that they could relate to. So that's great.
Kathleen Hanna
It was one of the first things I did on my own I worked at McDonald's, raised the money and did it. I'm really, really passionate about pro-choice, because I wouldn't be here talking to you right now if I'd had a kid at 15.
Kathleen Hanna
There are people who view their feminism in different ways. I used to beat myself up if I didn't react to things like I was supposed to.
Kathleen Hanna
There are so many great artists that are doing interesting things, that I don't want to focus on boring people.
Kathleen Hanna
When I get stressed out my de-stress default is - not cat videos - but I just watch his surrogates. They're so entertaining. It's like escapees from the Nordstrom cosmetics counter.
Kathleen Hanna
I'm not that interested in female superheroes.
Kathleen Hanna
Just because you're wearing a goofy hat doesn't make it performance art.
Kathleen Hanna
I'm so language-based and I'm so about communicating, and my art has always been very audience-based, and very about being functional and communicating something, and about feeling like I have to be heard.
Kathleen Hanna
Whatever your personality was before, an illness makes it that plus a thousand. I'm a very binary person in a bad way where it's like everything is either totally great or totally awful. I don't understand grey area that well, and I've been working at that.
Kathleen Hanna
I don't consider myself a divining rod whom God is speaking through or any kind of crap like that.
Kathleen Hanna
I really love that I'm giving myself the opportunity finally to not have the pressure of every single song you do having to be political or whatever. I'm just making what I wanna make.
Kathleen Hanna
I don't need to convince men that feminism is important, that just isn't a goal of mine. I can't even have that conversation of whether or not it's important, because if someone asks me that... I don't want to have a conversation with them until they grow up.
Kathleen Hanna
I really like to talk about my work in a way that is complicated.
Kathleen Hanna
I do sometimes think what outfit will make me happy. It's one of those self-care things. If I don't have time to do yoga in the morning, then I have a certain sweater/shirt combination that makes me feel put together.
Kathleen Hanna
If people are like, 'Oh, you're an icon,' then whatever. But who thinks of themselves like that? It's not like I have posters of myself on the wall.
