Bjork has taken to social media to address what she sees as "sexism" in media coverage of her DJ sets at Houston's Day for Night festival.

The Icelandic icon offered a variety of sounds and songs from her laptop on Friday and Sunday night inside the old downtown post office.

BEST AND WORST: Breaking down what worked and what didn't at Day for Night

"Dear little miss media," starts a Facebook post from Wednesday. She later writes in the long post:

"... Some media could not get their head around that i was not 'performing' and 'hiding' behind desks . and my male counterparts not . and i think this is sexism . which at the end of this tumultuous year is something im not going to let slide : because we all deserve maximum changes in this revolutionary energy we are currently in the midst of."

For what it's worth, the Chronicle gave Bjork's Friday set a positive review. She performed amid a shroud of green plants and wore an ornate headpiece.

Reactions to her Facebook post have been mixed, with some applauding her stance and others expressing disappointment that they couldn't see her very well onstage.

She posted a variation of the letter to Instagram.

Her post goes on to say "women in music are allowed to be singer songwriters singing about their boyfriends . if they change the subject matter to atoms , galaxies , activism , nerdy math beat editing or anything else than being performers singing about their loved ones they get criticized : journalists feel there is just something missing ... as if our only lingo is emo ..."

"men are allowed to go from subject to subject , do sci fi , period pieces , be slapstick and humorous, be music nerds getting lost in sculpting soundscapes but not women . if we dont cut our chest open and bleed about the men and children in our lives we are cheating our audience."
