Neko Case Puts Playboy In Its Place After Sexist Tweet

Playboy tweeted a link Wednesday to its review of Neko Case's great album, "The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You."

Artist @NekoCase is breaking the mold of what women in the music industry should be: http://t.co/FuzLFphuFF

Case did NOT appreciate that interpretation of her work.

@PlayboyDotCom Am I? IM NOT A FUCKING "WOMAN IN MUSIC", IM A FUCKING MUSICIAN IN MUSIC!

— Neko Case (@NekoCase) May 21, 2014

@PlayboyDotCom GET WITH THE NOW, PUSSY-SHAVERS!

— Neko Case (@NekoCase) May 21, 2014

Still fucking angry. Not sorry.

— Neko Case (@NekoCase) May 22, 2014

Some people were confused. Couldn't Case just learn to take a compliment? Case's answer, understandably, was no.

@robomeerkat @JenKirkman @PlayboyDotCom DONT PEGGY OLSEN ME, MOTHERFUCKERS.

Sure, that Playboy review is complimentary, but it begins and ends with looking at Case as a woman, not a musician. It's the kind of article Case has surely seen a lot of over the course of her long, successful career.

To be fair, it's not just @PlayboyDotCom who do the "Women in...", everyone still does it, WOMEN do it. I can't hang.

And no, I didn't read it. Wouldn't be able to get past "Woman in.." if I had no idea who I was, which is the point; women NOT a niche market

Also, I finished my period last week. Thanks for checking.

Case is currently on tour. Earlier this month, she also took to Twitter to call bullsh*t, this time on a parking ticket in Boston.

Always personalize your parking tickets. Thanks, Boston! http://ift.tt/1ijaGiT

That tweet got a heartwarming response:

@nekocase Sorry to hear- if you feel it was issued unfairly, here's how to contest: http://t.co/7S2DMI1Auu PS- love the new record.

— City of Boston (@NotifyBoston) May 5, 2014

@NotifyBoston and thank you :)

As of this writing, Playboy hasn't responded to Case's tweets.



Also, here's a great video of Neko Case, a musician in music, doing a NPR Tiny Desk concert last year. Enjoy.
