...interesting thing from The Wire... contains elements of what is being discussed in this thread...

It basically says exactly what we've been saying in this thread, She doesn't know why there are less women than men at gigs or in bands but it's clear there are less.

I had to laugh at the part that said

Men may make up the majority of musicians working and performing within electronic and experimental music, but a clear disparity exists between the number of female artists who can be discovered through browsing blogs or platforms such as Soundcloud, and the amount of them invited to appear at festivals, in clubs, in university concert halls or in art spaces. All too often, such line-ups make women seem like a rare species.

Yes of course you find more women artists, you are looking for them and it's the internet, it is finding things for you without you even knowing it, that's what it does now. It's no coincidence that you are finding more women on the internet in the same way that it's no surprise that there's an advert on the right hand side of this very page for a company I applied for a job with two weeks ago.

And I didn't get the fucking job either, Thanks the internet.
