Neko Case: "I'm not a fucking "woman in music", I'm a fucking musician in music!"
Last night, @PlayboyDotCom tweeted (...obligatory NSFW warning) “Artist @NekoCase is breaking the mold of what women in the music industry should be:” along with a link to an op-ed piece the site ran about Case the day before. Today, Case replied in objection to the loaded compliment, declaring “IM NOT A FUCKING “WOMAN IN MUSIC”, IM A FUCKING MUSICIAN IN MUSIC!”
Below, see some of Case’s tweets regarding the whole situation—and below those, now seems like a great time to revisit Case’s track “Man” from last year’s excellent The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You.
@PlayboyDotCom Am I? IM NOT A FUCKING “WOMAN IN MUSIC”, IM A FUCKING MUSICIAN IN MUSIC!

To be fair, it’s not just @PlayboyDotCom who do the “Women in…”, everyone still does it, WOMEN do it. I can’t hang.

And no, I didn’t read it. Wouldn’t be able to get past “Woman in..” if I had no idea who I was, which is the point; women NOT a niche market
