[Surfacing]

What is the point in arguing about music? Everyone's tastes are different. Surfacing, posting that list didn't impress anyone (I like 3 of the bands off your list), and it was pointless. You like certain bands, other people like others. I didn't post that list of female artists to start an argument about musical tastes, I posted it to show you that women can quite easily and successfully make it into the music business (not the pop business, either - notice that all of my list were either proper bands or fronted proper bands). Now that I have made my point, can we drop that one, since we've already established that it is entirely down to opinion...



1. I will take this as hyperbole, since men have never been oppressed...

2. Statistics are bollocks. Predicted Statistics are even worse. How could anybody possibly know what proportion of different sexes will get into College by 2007?

3. That is because, generally speaking, women are better at taking care of children than men. That is not a discussion point, it is a fact.

4. What the hell are you talking about here?

5. Socially, I think you're right here, women have it easier. But on the other hand, they have a harder time getting a decent job, they have to suffer the discrimination of the many mysoginists in the world (mentioning no names), and have you ever tried having a period? Things are improving, but the sexes are not equal yet, not by a long chalk. This topic itself proves that...

6. Bollocks.

7. Equally bollocks. Plus you misspelled "outweigh"...

8. When men are as disadvantaged as women have been over recent years, then they'll get their pressure groups...

9. Leaving aside my own opinions here, in what way has anything you have said here had anything to do with the Military, or anything to do with Bands (apart from your own tastes)?



10. That is your opinion. What use is it here? How can you expect us to look at your opinion and conclude that it is "logical"? My opinion happens to match yours here, but that doesn't mean that Women are incapable of making good music (which was what Surfacing was saying), as my list proves...

11. We are not arguing that is IS male-dominated. What Surfacing is saying (and what we are disagreeing with) is that it should be male-dominated...

Danny the reason i put up a list of bands i like is to firstly to prove how many i like and also to prove that they were all male bands, the whole point of listing them was to show that the majority of great bands around the world are yes male. I'm sure you like more male bands than female bands, arn't i right?
