Why aren't there more women on audiophile forums?
Been away awhile writing about audio. I took a break and found this: "Girls aloud: gender issues in the hi-fi world #WAFgate" You folks have heard of John Darko, right? He's not some nobody dissertation writer that's easy to bash, at some school in England. So, he sees this phenomenon too. https://darko.audio/2014/12/girls-aloud-gender-issues-in-the-hi-fi-world/ In case you want to learn about the gals who put down their knitting to fight discrimination in audio, check this out: https://womensaudiomission.org/about/ or this one: https://soundgirls.org/about-us/ Or this, https://www.wfmt.com/2018/09/27/less-than-5-of-audio-engineers-are-women-this-is-my-story/ I care about this stuff because I want the world to be more open for my daughter. And others' daughters. And anyone of any gender. It matters to me. I know it makes some people mad to contemplate that, but that's just leading to their own heart attack, so I find the anger pretty amusing. Hopefully they won't follow another largely male tradition of shooting up their place of work or local high school. Try not to kick your dog if this stuff makes you mad. |
The subject itself is political. Close it. Please. Until then the best post remains: Neo-Marxism has so skewed American politics that what most call "the right" is now mainstream America. What are the values of "the right"? Life, liberty, property, the pursuit of happiness, the right to be left alone. These are total mainstream American values. These are total mainstream universal human values. Universal everywhere that is but on the left. If you want to talk history, let’s talk history. Marx held that there are no truths, it is all about power, and therefore anyone who has anything took it by force and oppression. Marx held that the capitalists were the oppressors. Couple hundred million dead later, whole nations economically and spiritually impoverished, Marxism died a total failure. Until that is idiot French (but I repeat myself) philosophers reincarnated it as Neo-Marxism. No longer is it rich against poor. Now everyone is divided into every race, and gender, and ability, on and on endlessly on, all of them oppressed by the evil white man and his hateful patriarchy. If you want to think, intellectually or otherwise just think at all, mine is the model to emulate. The model of the Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, of Thomas Jefferson, Abe Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jesus Christ. The model of the divinity of the individual, the sanctity of life, of free and open inquiry. The other model is the exact opposite. Choose wisely. |
