HRO Confessions: I thought the Dude in Le Tigre Was a Dude

Remember this album cover from Le Tigre?

I always thought that the middle dude was a dude, but he’s actually a lady.
I only found that out last week, after this picture inspired me to wikipedia for truth.


Even though that album cover was a metaphor, it’s important to do a little bit of research to find out the truth. Things are not always what they appear to be, yall.

I just want to remind yall that I’m human, and just cuz I have a blog doesn’t mean I know everything.

Remember when girls were into feminism in 2001, but then they decided that they’d rather fit in with the majority of alternative culture?

    The Boston Red Sox radio broadcast often uses a sample of “Deceptacon”, the first song on Le Tigre’s debut album, as filler when returning from commercial break.

    shes just one of those really hairy chicks
    That have the unibrowz that their parents wont let them wax, so they tell everyone they’re going for the “natural” look and become smelly vegans that live in Santa cruz.
