JETT: PEOPLE ARE STILL THREATENED BY WOMEN ROCKERS'

JOAN JETT insists the world still feels threatened by women who play rock 'n' roll, because they are seen as too sexually aggressive. The 47-year-old BAD REPUTATION star continues to tour and claims people struggle to deal with assertive women. She explains, "I think playing rock 'n' roll implies sexuality. When a girl is playing rock 'n' roll, she's saying, 'I own my own sexuality.' "Some people find that threatening." The rocker dismisses the newest batch of female artists who label themselves as rockers, such as ASHLEE SIMPSON, claiming they are a different breed. She adds, "People use rock to make someone sound edgy. But with these artists, it's a different kind of sexuality. "It's more like, 'You can do what you want to me,' as opposed to, 'This is what I'm going to do to you!'"
