Isms are fought best in the same way: By the people who have internalized them. I wasn't raised in an openly sexist house, Pops always helped with cooking and cleaning, but most of the parenting was left to Ma.
However the music culture that was such a big part of my life included a lot of "women can't rock and roll" talk, and I bought it.
And then I heard Joan Jett. I thought "I Love Rock and Roll" was a new song and asked Dad where the heck are the ten cent jukeboxes. When he said that was before I was born mostly, it kinda clicked that maybe... JUST maybe... these music loving guys I looked up to were full of shit
