How come people on this list are so prone to flaming and personal attacks?! Y'all don't get out enough?
I think women in particular are intimidated by these flames - I know I am. I've been humiliated on this list once and it's not nice. We all have something to offer, including you Dance Extacy. Diana is one of the most pro-active women on this list and a very intelligent participant. Very few want to address the sexism that exists in this culture on a grassroots level and I really think it's time we did so. Is it just me who walks into a record store and instantly feels uncomfortable? It's a vibe. These kind of experiences hurt your self esteem and make you angry. I am sure racism works in the same way. It's so arbitrary and hurtful and frustrating and seems to make absolutely no sense. I am no man hater, most of my best friends are male - I love men, I adore male company and many of my male friends are in this industry - but the culture as such is not amenable to women and many of my male friends see that.
