[edit] Hanna, a former stripper

Was Hanna really once a stripper? There's no mention of that on her wikipedia page. --Slashme 06:15, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Yup. She talks about it here- http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Basement/8963/khinterview.html Rsm99833

[edit] Feminism

Could someone please specify what kind of feminism the group espouses (liberal, radical, pro-sex, anti-sex) ? Because this is only mentioned briefly and the only longer description is the reference to the NOFX song - which doesn't give their side. Anyone know? Crito2161 02:18, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I dont know anything about NOFx, but the feminism everyone mentions is simply a "sick of it" type thing. Bikini Kill protest rape and incest and the all around degradation of women in general. It's not pro- or anti- sex, but anti taking advantage of the deep emotional feelings women tack on to their sexual relationships. Their music is also meant to encourage bonds between women in their mutual understanding of glass ceilings and double standards. I hope this isn't too little too late.

[edit] Etymology of the Band Name

Just curious, is there any connection with the band's name to the infamous "Bikini Killer" serial killer Charles Sobhraj? And if so, is it worth noting in the article as a small tidbit?

[edit] User with an agenda

Note that User:Scarlet257 seems to have a project of excising references to Bikini Kill from various articles. See Special:Contributions/Scarlet257 In some cases, the references are unsupported, but in other cases the references are supported. --Larrybob 23:38, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kathy Acker and Kathleen Hanna

Didn't Kathy Acker urge Kathleen Hanna to form a band after she won a contest where the prize was Acker would join her in a poetry reading? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.63.200.118 (talk) 22:08, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
