I just always thought Riot Grrl was more about female empowerment.

Rape, sexuality, issues like that. Not so much that they wanted to be treated equally. More of a "we're females and proud of it and you can't tell us how to act" sort of a thing. They created a medium to voice their frustrations.

yeah but the approach they took is not conducive to communicating a message, i mean if you want people to hear what you have to say then the way to do that isn't to create your own private indie-ghetto, which is what happened with riot grrrl
