By her own admission,ass fucking movies Icelandic musician Björk hasn't "moaned about sexism" in the past.
But a spate of comments about her DJ sets at Houston's Day For Night Festival spurred her to action on Wednesday, penning an open letter on how women get treated differently in music publishing.

"Some media could not get their head around that I was not 'performing' and 'hiding' behind desks and my male counterparts not. And I think this is sexism," she wrote on her Facebook page.
One of the artists she cited, British electronic musician Aphex Twin, hid behind a mass of screens and visuals during his performance at the festival, only poking his head up once during the entire show. And it's not a problem.
Björk is relatively new to the DJ game after years of performing live, touring around the world with her Björk Digital show.
"I am aware of that it is less [than] a year since I started DJing publicly so this is something people are still getting used to and my fans have been incredibly welcoming to me sharing my musical journey and letting me be me," she wrote.
Yet Björk feels that female musicians are still limited in what they can sing and write songs about. That is, about other men.
"Women in music are allowed to be singer songwriters singing about their boyfriends. If they change the subject matter to atoms, galaxies, activism, nerdy math beat editing or anything else than being performers singing about their loved ones they get criticised," she wrote.
"Journalists feel there is just something missing...as if our only lingo is emo."
She added how male musicians are free to move between different subjects without feeling like they're letting down their listeners.
"Men are allowed to go from subject to subject, do sci-fi, period pieces, be slapstick and humorous, be music nerds getting lost in sculpting soundscapes but not women. If we don't cut our chest open and bleed about the men and children in our lives we are cheating our audience," she wrote.
"Eat your [Bechdel] test heart out."
Björk ended her letter by stating there is a "change in the air."
"Let's make 2017 the year where we fully make the transformation! The right to variety for all the girls out there," she wrote.
Hear, hear.
