it has happened to me so many times, that i walk into a record store, ask if they have some new release i am waiting for, only to hear, "we don't have that on cd, only on vinyl." finally once i responded: "what, do you think just because i'm a chick i can't be a dj?" it's a pain. but i have found that once people know who you are, the discrimination is gone. i get the respect i deserve from those who know. as far a hard and minimal techno female fans go, i think there are fewer than males because of the aggressiveness of the music. i was really into hard minimal stuff a few years ago, but now i pop in a mixtape and it's too hard for me... maybe i'm just getting old, but i always have associated that music with testosterone... i will always show up to hear a live hard techno dj though... that shit i always get into.. peace, holly
