Also what you said about feminism, is not really accurate. It's everyone's responsibility. If I sit in a room full of only white guys and someone says something bad about black people, I reserve the right to criticize that dick. And if he instead says something bad about women, I also reserve the right to criticize the dick. Why? Because if there were actual black people or women in the room, the dick would've waited until they left before speaking ill about them, so they couldn't have defended themselves regardless. This forum is no different, we're mostly dudes here and the jargon reflects that. If any change is gonna happen here there has to be some dudes involved![]()
Thanks to all for your input of young girls learning guitar. It's good to hear some other input.
I'm afraid that analogy above is really bad, because the proposal here seems more akin to you going up to the black guy and telling him he's not being the black guy you think he should be and that it's the fault of you and the other white guys to do something about.
That's where we were some pages back with Maria Brink isn't it? Just to clarify that position it's that women are exploited by/because of men and somehow it should be stopped? And further if it were that there are lots of women keen to gravitate to metal music?
My proposal is essentially Maria's a clever girl I'm sure and quite aware of what she is doing. And further that from what i've seen there's plenty of subcultural space for women and anyone should they choose to participate. Such as we might suggest has been availed of by Kim Kelly and the previously discussed female and transwoman headed UK extreme metal press.
