Fuck yeah, Green Day!

My name is Brooke. I've been a Green Day fan for 12+ years. Feel free to follow my personal tumblr.

"My point is that feminists are not biological determinists. Feminists are the least likely people to say ‘all men are bastards’. Some of them might say ‘many men behave like bastards’. But they don’t imply that such behaviour is acceptable because its genetic or ‘natural’ for men to behave that way, like those arguments defending rapists which imply that men are really all just stupid cavemen who can’t be blamed when they rape because, hey, men just can’t help it when they see someone in a mini skirt. Feminists don’t write books about how men are genetically incapable of picking up an iron. Feminists don’t write books about how men are from another planet, one where men have to be left ‘in their cave’ because they just don’t have proper emotions like women do. That’s because actually, feminists think men should be treated as fully functional human beings with brains and morals who should be held responsible for the choices they make."

“That’s because actually, feminists think men should be treated as fully functional human beings with brains and morals who should be held responsible for the choices they make.”

So important to remember this.

Billie Joe Armstrong seeking substance abuse treatment.

As some of you may already know, BJA had a very public meltdown at the iHeart Radio Music Festival this weekend. Sadly, substance abuse and outbursts such as his are not uncommon in the music industry. I’d like to use this opportunity to encourage the followers of this blog or fans of Green Day to seek any help that they may also need. Drugs, heavy drinking, and self-destructive behavior look edgy and tragically beautiful in music videos and sound profound when sung about in our favorite songs, however Billie Joe’s breakdown is a great illustration of the gut-wrenching and unglamorous realities of substance abuse. 

Despite any disruptions this treatment may have on public appearances or releases, I hope you all remain positive and maintain your love for Green Day. It’s important, as fans, to realize that our heroes are humans just like us. Cancelled shows and appearances are justifiable collateral when a man’s physical and mental well-being are at stake.

#green day  #Billie Joe Armstrong 

Punk is always something that’s going to be with us and to try and explain that would be stupid at this point.
