Transcript
Alanis Morissette, welcome to Call Her Daddy. Thank you for having me. At 21 years old, you shattered records, selling 33,000,000 copies of your album, Jagged Little Pill. I started writing songs at nine. We went to shop a record deal, just a room full of 12 men in suits. I remember I burned my journal in the fireplace. Well, there was a lot of extraction and exploitation. Did you ever feel like you were punished for refusing to be more palatable? Yes. My whole life, I've just heard that I'm too much. Because tier was a lot of hate. There were websites constructed to figure out how to murder me worst elegantly. Well, the messaging basically was reduce yourself and everything's gonna be okay and try to be quiet if you can. The headline was angry white female. If you're a woman in the world of patriarchy, how are you not enraged? The implication there was that there's one throne. Everyone else you fail, you lose, you're ugly. Bye. That's patriarchy. That's scarcity mindset. There's fucking 8,200,000,000 thrones, period. Postpartum depression, invasive thoughts, anxiety, tier, off the charts. I felt completely out of control. I was losing people's trust in my sanity. This invisible low thing, no, no, no. It's not gonna be invisible anymore. We're making it visible.
