Here’s the thing about the 1970s British and American punk scenes: they were every bit as misogynistic and race-exclusive as the society they claimed to stand counter to. And Styrene didn’t look the part of a punk — at the time, she was a mixed-race not-skinny avowed-feminist teenager with braces and day-glo old lady clothes, who later struggled with mental health issues. But Styrene embraced her role as punk’s conscience, both as critic and role model; she screamed down consumerism and magazine culture both inside and outside the scene, with a bullying shriek still heard in singers like latter-day feminist icon Kathleen Hanna.

- Bette: I can't go.
- Bette: Because I'll be dead.

Is spelling and grammar really that important to you that you have to be a jerk about it and how often do you think it’s resulted in you making fun of someone who has dyslexia or doesn’t speak english as their first language
