> > women can't say mean things about men and we can't curse either?

I don't know who wrote this, but it seems they're a bit weak on Rock
history. The first recorded curse (as far as I can determine) was Grace
Slick singing (and it sounds beautiful, too) "Up against the
wall/Motherfucker..." on We Could Be Together from Volunteers, 1969.
Jefferson Airplane did have to fight to get it on, though.
And if you've ever heard any Bessie Smith or Billie Holiday, you'd know
women have been saying mean things about men in songs for quite some time.

Did you mean "infection?"

How about: "Who is she/I'll rape it..." Note the usage of "it."

> Has anyone ever heard of a song by the Who entitled "Aphrodite"?

Anne:

Never, ever heard of this one.

stage, how they dance, etc.  We've still got a long way before women are
equal in the world of music, in my opinion.  Just look at britney speers
and her boob job.  

If she did get one, that is. She is a growing girl, after all. But she
chose to do the video for I Did It Again, which is pretty damned sexual. In
her position (you know what I mean), she could have done something else.
Women know how they can affect men, and if they do so then what's wrong
with that. I guarantee if men could have that effect on women, we would and
as often as possible, and not complain about it either.

Until she had the baby, unfortunately.

Gee, it's interesting how discussions of Punk, South Park, women's
equality, and pretty much anything else are all OK...make an off-the-cuff
political joke once in a while, and the roof caves in. Guess I'd better
just keep the truth out of them; that's the part which seems to upset
people...
