Bikini kill alien

In the song, Bikini Kill's lead singer Kathleen Hanna sings about the part of herself, which she calls the "alien she," that wants to be a girly girl and fit into the media-driven stereotypes of beauty and femininity. While the song speaks of Hanna's hatred for this "alien she" inside of her who calls Hanna names "feminist, dyke, whore ," wants her to "go to the mall," and "put the pretty, pretty lipstick on," Hanna also recognizes that this "alien she" is an integral part of herself. In fact, she says that she is her siamese twin, and that killing off the "alien she" would perhaps kill Hanna as well. Though I wanted to be seen as attractive as much as the next girl, I found this sort of unwanted attention tiresome. Often enough, it made me feel a certain seething something in my chest.
