Interview - Chicago Pride - Juliana Hatfield: I think sexism is a form of discrimination

Juliana, interviewed by Jerry Nunn for Chicago Pride:

JN: Is your new album Pussycat a political album?

JH: The album is inspired by current events. It is a personal record. It is about my feelings and how I am reacting to the world. It is about confusion, rage, disgust, and all those other things. I didn’t want this to be an anti-Trump album. It is anti-hatred, and anti-lies. It is pro America and all the good things this country is supposed to be about. The is a lot of anti-sexism coming from my point of view as a woman who deals with it every day. I think sexism is a form of discrimination. It is similar to other forms of discrimination. I think people should feel empowered to not take shit from anyone. A lot of the songs are standing for the good things, like honesty and respect.
