Säg det i toner...

Apropå att Fi nu nominerat en ledarduo kommer ett litet musiktips:
"Wrong Man" med Henry Rollins Band.

När jag blir som mest uppbragd över sexistiska utspel från Gudrun och hennes kumpaner lyssnar jag på denna (gärna på hög volym).
Man påminns då i sin indignation att det tack och lov fortfarande finns de som propagerar för allas vår rätt att ses som individer. Trots att låten spelades in redan 1993 känns den som ett direkt svar på Gudruns sexistiska initiativ, hennes utfall om kollektiv skuld, mansskatt osv.
I min önskan att fler kunde ta del av Henry Rollins budskap tar jag mig friheten att återge texten här:


You say we're all the same
You don't even know my name
Sometime somewhere someone once hurt you
And I'm one of them so I take all the blame
You think you know about me
You don't know a damn thing about me

I'm not all men
I'm not all men
I'm just one man
I'm not that man

Here's one subject that everyone enjoys
I heard the boys talk the talk to the boys
I heard the girls say the same thing to the girls
Oh man, it's all the same, neither one's worse
Now I didn't always tell the truth
But then again, neither did you

I'm not all men
I'm not all men
I'm just one man
I'm not that man

Get away and leave me well alone
Take your damage and take it on back home
I'm not the blame for your misery
Take your threats away from me
Take that damage and leave me all alone

I won't try to patronize you
and say: “I know everything that you've been through”
You know, it just might be
you’ve got no problems with me
I'm not a rapist in waiting
I'm not the one you should be hating
Check it out

I'm not all men...

You take your fear and you pull it inside
It builds up and the rage starts to rise
You push it out and your anger is blind
And you see me as an enemy
That's not the way it ought to be

You generalize and tell me lies
Like all I want's between you thighs
All the things that I put you through
All the things that I might do
Don't wonder why I run away
When you tell me it's my time to pay
For all the tears and all the pain
And all those terrible things I never did

Oh yeah
You better look deep inside
And check out your mind
Take a good look wondering what you’re looking at when you’re looking at me
Cause I’m not that man
I’m not that man
No! No! No!
I’m not that man!
- Henry Rollins
