Sexist Bullshit (Christmas song)

Two self-described "snarky, geeky and sweet" Portland sisters, Angela and Aubrey Webber, have crafted the Christmas carol of the year: "Sexist Bullshit (Christmas Song)," .......

"The ability to make sexist assholes disappear," they sing, "is all I want for Christmas, it's all I want this year."

Also on the list? Being "done with catcalls and shaming," and replacing the traditional yule log with the patriarchy ("I want to watch it burn," the sisters sing).

"Oh, do I seem too mad to you?" they ask, "God, I wonder why."

Their albums are all available on streaming. Have to appreciate all talented performers of nerd music.
