Congratulations to the Feminist Action Committee in their decision to not allow Real Slow Drag to perform during the Women's Mosaic based on the band having two men. They took a chance to show everyone what they are all about and instead confirmed what most people think they are all about: women who hate men. Way to shoot yourself in the foot! You say you disqualified these women because you felt their positions were not prominent? Please! I hate to tell ya, but female musicians are unique these days and you missed an opportunity to encourage other women to pursue a career in a male dominated field. The only women you see in music today (with few exceptions) are doing nothing more than what society has allowed them to do: sing! How many actually play an instrument? Think about Shania, Celine, Mariah, and Whitney, who stand there and sing with the music coming from God-knows-where? And we give them awards and millions of dollars because we like their MUSIC? Excuse these two women, Jen & Care, for actually having talent and then having the audacity to use it how they choose, with two members of the hated enemy.
