Ask yourself is it appropriate to approach and speak a complete stranger with the intent of getting a date? Lets be honest, its not! To them, its gona be obvious what your after and its a bit of a turn off. If your in a pub or club then I guess it comes with the territory that people will approach others in a friendly manner, but out on the streets or in a shop its a bit invasive.Originally Posted by: iihollySexism doesn't exist... riighht (to whoever was saying it doesn't).
To say that the music industry is sexist because theres a distinct lack of female guitaring role models its utter rubbish!! There are tonnes of female artists, its 50/50 between male and female in music right?, and just because these female artisits/guitarists lie in different genres doesnt imply they arent given the same opportunities as male guitarists.
[QUOTE=iiholly]Then it occured to me that I don't know another girl who play electric guitar, and it kind of bugged me out (I do give guitar lessons, so you'd think i'd meet atleast one).
I'm just bothered.
Why should it bother you that theres no females you know playing guitar? Whats gender got to do with anything? Are there any people you teach who are blind? If not, does that bother you? I think your being what you would call sexist!
Theres a lack of female rock guitarists therefore the music industry is sexist *yawns* gimmie a break!
Heh Id love to be a women, you have more rights than men in todays society and in the cases where you feel you dont you get to cry sexism!! :rolleyes:
