That's what she says in the subhead.
"Despite being a ’90s woman and a feminist and a former music writer and the owner of more than one deck of Tarot cards, I knew next to nothing about Amos. It’s not on purpose; it’s also not thoroughly not on purpose.
Amos’ voice shimmers and twinkles and slides, unhinged but in a meticulous kind of way. Most of all, it is deeply, terrifyingly feminine: expressive, operatic, mercurial. It takes up space. It saturates.
Its arpeggios and shrieks and growls are resonant, and shortly after that, repellent. It is somehow incredibly self-assured and nakedly vulnerable. I suddenly understand why Tori Amos wasn’t on my radar: she couldn’t be. I text Theo: 'Can someone just be too emotionally unavailable for Tori Amos?' following up with a second text that should have read 'too many feelings' but instead comes out as 'too feelings.' Eventually, she replies with a winky-face emoji."
"How I gave in to Tori Amos’ divine feminine
'In Times of Dragons' is a confrontation with America — and a reckoning with my own learned misogyny"
