Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture robert Professional	#1 by robert cunningham at Nov 10, 1989 at 12:04 AM EST
	I agree with Richeye, the song isn't about inferiorety of men, and is somewhat in mockery of Solanas, by blamining everyone, instead of just men. My basis for that belief is the deridation of the term "whores", since male prostitution is much rarer and they are not generally referred to by that phrase in any case. I've also on occasion thought that the closing lines might be directly at Salonas, as well as to everyone in general.

No Picture Frost Wanna Be	#2 by Frost Bite at Apr 9, 2005 at 4:03 AM EST
	One of the most damning lines, possibly on the entire album, is 'We all love our children'; for me, it trivialises the supposedly sacred insistution of parenthood. It reminds me of something that Philip Slater said, about how 'for the children' is the greatest war-cry - and the greatest justification - for public atrocities. These anxieties that we have for the welfare of our families renders us useless - 'Little people in little houses/ Like maggots, small, blind, and worthless.' We become the self-contained family unit that Richey always abhorred, biologically fertile but mentally castrated.
