OTEP TO TOUR WITH… BUTCHER BABIES?

Otep has made quite her name for herself not only as a metal vocalist, but as an outspoken political activist and feminist, the kind of artist that will announce she is going to buy a penis to make a point. I’m not a huge fan of her as a musician, but I am a huge fan of her as a person.

Which is why I actually find it to be quite a bummer that she’s apparently going to tour with Butcher Babies.

In case you don’t understand the implications of that, it means that this woman…

…will now be touring with these women (NSFW):

Now, maybe Otep sees Butcher Babies as making some kind of feminist statement of their own… but I don’t really buy that. These are ladies who actively define themselves as “sluts,” after all.

So, yeah, like, what the fuck, Otep?
