The Chick Band Manifesto
Whereas- the term Chick Band has a negative connotation based on the following:
- in our society, women have fought for and in many tangible ways have gained equality with men,
- in our society people resist the stereotyping of women;
- society agrees that we shouldn't objectify women by believing that they have a reduced ability to think or feel or slog gear;
- people generally agree that women are not sexual objects;
- women have every right to express their thoughts and feelings artistically, emotionally and otherwise, in ways that are acceptable to them;
- women shouldn’t be judged on their looks as if that was all that mattered;
- the term Chick usually implies a disregard for above-described values;
- a musical performance has the power to suspend everyday realities;
- some women are especially suited to performing loudly, aggressively and with unbridled passion while being accompanied by loud guitars, pounding drums, and lyrics about love, life, sex, violence, relationships and a dozen kinds of emotional angst;
Be it resolved that
- the label Chick Band now refers to an exceptionally talented performing group containing women that successfully uses all within its power to entertain an audience.
