Am I being oversensitive by thinking that this is blatant sexual discrimination? [And no, i don't play, and have no vested interests, just find it odd that you specify FEMALE, I wouldn't have thought it would have made any difference as long as they were good]

 

A lot of night have a female only night - its called promotion! Something to pull the crowds in more? There are far more male djs than female and a lot dont get the credit they deserve so i happen to think its a good idea!

Its nothing to do with discrimination - Addiction had a pure female lineup, so did passion - whats sexist about that?

Im sorry but....SHUT UP!!!

 

I see you have a good line of defence, I bow to your great intellect, obviously that is such a good reason for advertising for female DJ's, how could I have ever doubted you? Please accept my apologies, I know not what I do. It is not my fault that I am who I am, I am afraid I am merely a product of my environment. Please can you save me from this dark, hideous place in which I find myself and take me to your new, wonderful world of enlightenment.

maybe thats cuz there genuinly IS less female DJs than male. its only recently that DJing has beomce a trendy unisex hobby. it used to be all technical and scarey and as a very general rule of thumb those sorta past times (computery stuff, car mecanics) r male oriented

[luke revival]

This is true..Also, more lads go on t'internet. We get more lads in the club. therefore we get more demos from lads! Hence this post!

Well said Sarah, its nice to see that you are giving every1 an equal chance by encouraging more female djs to come forward

I wish you all the luck with your event & people should be encouraging you, not havin a winge coz they have got nothing better to do. This industry is hard enough as it is lets see a li'l more encouragement for talent for males & females!

[luke revival]

THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!

[Guest]

Right Ive just read the whole post and have to say I really do not know what Blink and Happy are making such a fuss about. Is it not a good thing that he is giving new talent a go in the 1st place? He said he gets demos off blokes already but wants to give female DJs a chance aswell. This doesnt mean that men cant send in demos aswell surely. The way i see it is its a post to grab he attention of the female DJs on CTW and maybe they'll think "Hey I didnt know he was deffo looking for female DJs, I'll give him a shout"

 

But more to the point, Its his night and he can do whatever the [censored] he wants!

[LiquidEyes]

So what proportion of your demos are from black people?

Are you not worried that black people are under-represented in house music?

 

Can't you see Blink's point?

[luke revival]

Well said...Thank you too!

Now who is being SEXIST

A few points;

The female Djs that i know do not do it coz its trendy!They do it coz they love the music & have a passion for it!

I have got a BTEC 1st in aeronaughtical engineering & i did an apprenticeship in airframe/engine engineering & i certainly didnt do that coz it was trendy, i did it coz i was bloody good at it!

Please stop all this sexist crap coz it is really winding me up & you are talkin out of your arse!

Men & women are capable of doing anything, if you put your mind to it you can achieve anything!

& sexism is only alive in minds like yours!
