Because the male dominates in all areas of society (even though we don't recognise it half the time).<BR/><BR/>Do you think a similar sexist trend exists in fashion? I ask because it's definitely your area & definitely not mine...Ameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458040497640602025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3686794343764631927.post-4446031604238540212008-08-04T14:24:00.000+01:002008-08-04T14:24:00.000+01:00Amen to that!

Great article Amy, love it when people make theory relevant to real life :) Like the point you made at the end about women always being the oppositional in music. I think it's perhaps more of a common factor in music than other areas of culture? Feel free to correct me if im wrong on that.<BR/><BR/>The only time my gender has ever been an issue was when i promoted a my own night last summer. Boys tried to catch me out with sneaky questions about remixes,because obviously as a girl I didnt know anything about the music and was only interested in pulling djs. Similarly, have you ever looked at the music blogs for electro?! on the vast majority every track is accompanied by a girl nearly naked posing in some pseudo porno fashion, most likely in a toilet(and probably actually asked to have her photo taken, because as we all know, every woman aspires to vicarious fame on lastnightsparty.com). Anyway, it's not the girl wanting to have her photo taken that i object to, it's the fact that the blogs are like some male haven where women are objectified and aside from a select few exceptions MIA, Lykee Li, Robyn etc, will never have any place on the blogs other than Vice Magazine reading morons wank material.<BR/><BR/>Anyway...with all that going on im quite surprised that women make it anywhere in music and I will thus endeavour to support any that do!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
