Have any of you ever attended those electronic music events events with *exclusively* female artists?
I have. And in a lot of cases it seemed really awkward -- like the reason they were selected as performers was due to their sex/gender over their accomplishments as a performer/musician. (To say nothing of the male patrons weirdly 'gawking' over them, which is also super creepy. A separate issue unto itself.) So here we are listing out producers/djs, etc. and not discussing their works or what makes them good (maybe one or two have, but most replies haven't). That turns this into an ad-hoc roll call. Which again sort of reminds of those types of events I just mentioned. To what end? How about indicate what makes them interesting to mention here, aside from their sex/gender? That would seem like a more favorable way to approach this discussion, while crediting them appropriately.
