Mannequin Pussy expresses frustration over political discourse related to voting and identity. Frontwoman Marisa Dabice emphasizes that voting should not equate to advocating for personal identities. The band, consisting of members from diverse backgrounds, prioritizes authenticity over conformity. Their performances challenge shame inherited from organized religions and call for societal liberation. They position their music as a platform for political engagement, urging listeners to embrace their true selves despite external pressures.
I think presenting your true self-especially when there's a lot of powers trying to shut that down-as opposed to just spewing out some bullshit to please someone is not in any of our interests.
Here's the thing about shame...for some reason, it keeps getting passed down from generation to generation. And wouldn't it be beautiful if it stopped with ours?
This is a band that stands for the liberation of all people, this is a band that recognizes the importance of not only political engagement but also personal authenticity in the face of societal pressures.
Voting shouldn't be an endorsement of our identities.
