But I got sucked into watching that video again for about the zillionth time and forgot.
When it came to the article, I think the writer was stretching to claim that Soundgarden or Nirvana were particularly feminist. Neither of those bands were into really into the activism like Pearl Jam was and still is, and when it comes to PJ's music, 'Daughter' is really the only song I would have picked out as having a clear feminist vibe to it. 'Why Go', not so much...
Daughter - Pearl Jam
Alone, listless, breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl, violence, center of her own attention
The mother reads aloud child tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud
The shades go down it's in her head
Painted room, can't deny there's something wrong
Don't call me daughter not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me,
She holds the hand that holds her down
She will, rise above
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughters
The shades go down
The shades go, go, go
