Religious subjugation, gun violence, armchair activists, gender orgasm gap, female genital mutilation, the fetishization of motherhood, and toxic relationships-no breed of oppression defies War On Women’s purview. Taking shape over the course of summer 2017, the band’s sophomore effort delves into injustices at both the macro and micro levels. With hundreds of shows and years of activism behind them, Capture The Flag finds War On Women more dogged than ever. Hailed for their crystalline jabs at societal ills, War On Women prove that hardcore can incite change that ripples far beyond the parameters of the stage. Storming out the gate with teeth gnashing and spitting venom, War On Women’s self-titled 2015 debut crossbred riot grrrl ferocity with the nimble aggression of thrash. The co-ed feminist punk troupe has been tackling injustice one song at a time since their 2010 inception. Riff-fueled manifestos are nothing new for War On Women.
Much more than a collection of songs or sonic experiment, Capture The Flag is a call to action that cannot be ignored. The band’s forthcoming album Capture The Flag calcifies that rage, and no one in its wake is safe.
Each time a team successfully steals the flag, have the teams switch sides.Baltimore’s War On Women were born screaming-at the world, at the status quo, in the face of oppression. If you are pulled across the line, then you go to prison. If you want to, you can challenge someone to a “Tug-of-War.” This happens when two opposing team members face off at the center line, links hands, and try and pull each other onto the other’s side. If someone tries to steal the flag, and is caught before crossing the center line, then that person goes to prison and the flag goes back inside the safe zone. 
You cannot pass/throw the flag to another member of your team.If someone else enters the safe zone while you are in there, then you both go to prison.
You are only allowed to have one person in the flag safe zone at a time, and that person can stay in the safe zone for as long as they want. You can only save one person from prison at a time, and both saver and “savee” must walk back to their own side before re-joining the game (no breaking away to steal the flag!). To be saved from prison, someone from your team must make it all the way to you without being tagged, and then must walk you back (holding onto your clothing, hand, linking elbows…etc.), to your own side. Anyone who is on the other team’s side, and is tagged by a member of that team, MUST go immediately to prison. The object of the game is to steal the other team’s flag and bring it over the center line to your side without getting tagged. Place the flag in the middle of this circle. On each side, use the cones to mark off an area that will house the flag (usually a 5-foot by 5-foot circle). On each side, use the cones to mark off an area that will be the prison (a circle that has a diameter of about 8 to 10 feet). Each side will be a mirror image of the other. Capture the flag full#
After defining the playing area (use the full gym if inside, and make the game as big as you want if you are outside), split it in half by marking the full center line with cones (or with a big tug-of-war rope). 2 “Flags” (can be rubber chickens, pinnies…etc.).
