The title is a nod to Riot Grrrl, the early 1990s third-wave feminist movement. Third-wave feminism embraced individualism and promoted that there is no right way to be a woman. The two chairs explore the way that women and men are often taught to sit. The girly fabric forces your legs apart in one chair and pushes them together in the other.

I am shown in this photo with my partner, Shae Bishop. He and I are often on opposite sides of where our genders are “supposed” to be. I am older, am the primary income earner, and dress pragmatically. He is a ceramic and fiber artist, dresses like a dandy, sews me dresses, and makes my dinner almost every night. So, who gets which chair?
