I just heard this on CBC and thought I would post it.

Here's a sample of  Ian Campeau's explaining his decision:

"When you oppress women as you're trying to elevate your community, you're oppressing half of the people you're trying to elevate," Campeau explained.

This re-examination of what he listens to at home and what he plays onstage was largely inspired by Campeau's own young daughters.

"It's more realizing that my daughters don't have the same opportunities that I have as a man, and it's really easy to want to change that," he said. "Men don't need to hate my daughters because they're women."

It is a quick clip, but worth a listen.
