Last time I saw Hunk play they had a male drummer.
They still do but I believe that he is leaving soon and they have a woman lined up to come in.

Who exactly is acting that way Hugh ?You know lads youse are all (well almost all) acting as if you are being accused of being personally responsible for this situation. Whether you agree with the idea of quotas or not, it's still an interesting exercise to look at an event like this and analyze it in this way. Like Anthony, I would have thought the percentage would have been even less, which is pretty depressing really.
The relatively low rate of participation from women is one of the things that makes this whole indie-schmindie thing we are all involved in less interesting than it could be. It's also one of the things that makes Thumped less interesting than it could be.

this started me thinking about gender divide by genre (e.g. plenty of women in blues and folk although still probably subordinate to the amount of men, very few women in metal), which is when it occurred to me that there doesn't seem to be any gender divide at all in pop - could this be the evidence that the more 'alternative' types of musos are a bunch of sexist pricks?this was part of a question on a different forum about how "music preference and gender" on the forum.

i said don't go super-nuts or anything
I really don't understand this at all. I don't see how any responses here have been either aggressive or defensive.i dunno, i don't really give a shit - i tried to have a bit of a think out loud about it there but it didn't even cause a blip in the aggressive/defensive reactions, it doesn't appear to be possible to talk about it in any useful way
If there are females in bands - great...
If there aren't females in bands - great... perhaps they have better things to be doing... or aren't interested in the same way that many males aren't interested in being in bands...
...The idea that encouragement is lacking or that bands are a bunch of sexist blokes in this regard is strange - a lot of young males are awkward, socially clumsy, super shy and severely lacking in self confidence / self esteem, yet this issue always seems to boil down to the males involved in bands somehow being answerable for whatever this argument is...
... maybe being in a band is an incredibly lame and life wasting thing to do and more females are wise to this...
... or perhaps it's a non-issue...
My big regret is that my brother and I didn't start doing what we did like, 10 years before. I feel like then we would have sold some records. We started pretty late-- I was 27 when our first album came out. I'm kicking myself for going to college. I feel like I'm struggling now, and nearly every musician I know feels that way-- even the most successful ones. I realize that I'm very lucky, but I still feel like I could be doing so much better.
