Halsey: It’s easy to make me the villain - I’m in a bikini in a music video, so I must be a whore

An interesting interview with Halsey in the Guardian about how the media and the public present and view women - “It’s so much greater than me – it’s a social perception of women. So fuck it, I’m gonna tell them everything that happened. I am financially independent, I have my own team, I have every resource in the world to get out of [misogyny]. I still can’t. How hard must it be for women who don’t have these resources?”. But, things can be done - at the Women’s March in 2018, she delivered a poem about her experience of sexual harassment so compassionate, angry and confessional that - “people came up to me in the street. Men. A whole demographic who’d never approached me before. Art still works! You lose faith in it sometimes”.
