Nirvana never had the best track record when writing decipherable lyrics, but when it came to women's rights, Kurt Cobain never minced any of his words.

    It’s because Kurt was at least somewhat transfem.

      So to you, the only way for a man to feel empathy for women, is if they are “somewhat transfem”…

      You need to meet better men.

        There’s been discussion about if Cobain was trans. This poster didn’t just make it up

      You’re basing that off a common style at the time. Least you think many rock and grunge artists were coincidentally all that, with Kurt actually being less involved by comparison.

      Don’t make shit up and tell people it’s so, simply because you wish it were so. That’s Trumpistic.

        Posted elsewhere in this thread but https://trending.knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/why-do-some-people-think-kurt-cobain-was-trans-the-viral-debate-explained is probably a fine starting point.
