Love

So, I must confess, I'm a long-time admirer of Courtney Love. I also think she is incredibly attractive.

Admittedly, there are many things she's done that are pretty bad... drug use, blah, blah. She's a woman who understands the concept of excess. I know lots of women who gently and quietly self-destruct, or basically fade away in front of your eyes, but she is a force of nature. She is a fireball, and I absolutely love it. I mean, if you are going to hell, take everyone else with you.

I love that she's viewed as controversial. If she were a man, no-one would give a shit about the things she's done. But, most people don't know what to do with women like her. That's one of the reasons why I like her. She completely subverts expectations of what women are ''supposed'' to be like. She's like the anti-woman, hence, why she scares the shit out of everyone.

Perhaps this is more a statement about me, but I thoroughly identify with most of the songs she has done either solo, or with Hole. They do speak to me.

For me, she's my generation of Feminist. She's a colossal fuck-up, BUT she dares to be different. She seems unafraid. And rather like a lot of other Feminist-y people that you might look up to, she hasn't been broken. Most women ahead of their time are crushed by circumstances.
