American girls: Sluts, says Billy Corgan

From Idolator: So, you got the band together—well, the drummer and some faceless replacements—and nobody seems to care. What do you do for some cheap press? If you're Billy Corgan, you question the honor of ladies from the grand ol' U.S. of A. During a "Smashing Pumpkins" gig at the Reading festival in England, Corgan gushed about the willingness of a woman in the crowd to show off her assets in a skimpy outfit, then added: "American girls are sluts too. See – isn't it great to be alternative – You can say all those things." Genuine misogyny or ironic misogyny? Discuss.
