Agreed. On a road trip last week some RHCP came on and I instantly asked for a skip, when I told my buddies why I don’t like RHCP (they knew I was a big fan as a teenager) one of my friends said that it’s common with rock stars to go after much too young roadie girls, I shut that shit down, and asked if when his daughter turns 13-15 and hooked up with a rockstar that makes it okay. It was momentary friction and a bit awkward in the car for a bit. Later that trip the friend who excused it randomly brought it up again and agreed that just because it’s common doesn’t make it okay. I’m glad he agreed but it was kind of crazy I had to be like “think of this as a father” before it clicked for him

My husband is a professional musician(not like RHCP levels of fame, they usually play to 10-15k) and he always says one of the most disheartening things about what he does is the rampant misogyny and general disrespect towards women by other men in the industry.

Their OG lead guitarist, John Frusciante, is fantastic and had a solid indie solo run when he stepped away if your into that style.

We can just call them girls if they’re “underaged”. Nobody seems to say “overaged”, which I guess is 18? If she’s an adult she’s a woman, if not, she’s a girl. And if he’s a man, an adult, he needs to be accountable for his behaviour.

He knowingly had sex with a fourteen year old and put this fact in his 2004 memoir. This is what he will happily admit to for the public.

One could of course argue that the rest of them are just as guilty by having chosen to continue associating with him for decades, but then by that logic you'd need to stop listening to almost any major rock bands ever.

I get that, but the language infantilizes behavior that is not childlike, it's a power play.
That dude is a repeat abuser who looks for people he can control and saw her as another target.
It feels like referring to boundary setting and holding as "mom-like" also casts the behavior as non-adult and in the "boys will be boys" space. It kinda makes the tactic feel ineffective bc the underlying behavior is viewed as unstoppable or inevitable, like reasoning with a kid.
I get the inclination and parent analogies can be useful in a lot of settings. Maybe she needed to soften the facts in this interview, idk.
I would just feel uncomfortable calling myself a mom in a situation where I was being systemically and directly sexually harassed.

Saw them live years ago; Kiedis didn’t even acknowledge the audience and spent most of the concert with his back to us, Flea did a 23 minute trumpet solo, and they didn’t play Under The Bridge. Never again.

I was just discussing this with my girlfriend today. Nonchalantly assaulting women is so commonplace that it’s just accepted. As if we’re expected to just put up with it and men get a pass like it’s okay because they don’t know that what they are doing is assault. Cornell is on fire right now and not enough is being done to keep women safe.

"They were doing it live."
"That's worse."
That's not worse. That's just also really bad. All assault is worse.

I think the point (besides what the other comment already said) is that if they're bold enough to do shit like that in front of a huge audience, imagine what they're capable of in private.
