It’s heartbreaking to learn about the abuse that women endure at the hands of bands. As a female in music, I identify with their stories (all too well) and commend the survivors for stepping forward. https://t.co/tSQyZY0JYQ

CHARLY BLISS tweeted:
had to get that jab in, but all jokes aside, as thrilled as we are to see this shit get shut down, this type of behavior is not surprising. truly hoping that this will have an actual impact on an industry where blatant misogyny is not only disregarded, but treated as the norm.
