- Kathleen Hanna is in a band called Bikini Kill which has had to deal with all these jealous boy crappings. She told Bad Attitude what she knew of the Riot Girl thing in the States. She wanted to make clear however, that she does not represent the ‘law’ on riot grrrlz (or even Bikini Kill’s other band members). There is none.
