instead you got a bunch of pasty white boys who never see the sun wanting to climb all over you.

*sigh*

it's like feminism never happened...

(i own a toolbox AND taught myself how to spin. fancy that...good thing these tits didn't get in the way, huh?)

Kabuki read me right... my subject title was a joke...

kabuki wrote:I took her thread title as a sort of self-effacing joke. Like "Help me, I'm a girl" even though she has more music to show than most of us (including myself), so she obviously isn't helpless. Basic sarcasm.

If she was homely, she wouldn't have ellicited all the wank-talk. She just happens to be pretty. In a forum full of geeks on computers.

It would be like someone going into a Star Trek forum with a title that reads "I have O'Hura's thong!!!" even though we all know O'Hura wore granny panties.

(Sorry for the rambling. Pretty girls make me all confused and clumsy)

I posted my questions on the Abelton forum because I thought I would be sure to find a plethora of hip, talented beat makers who enjoyed helping each other out with technical and creative issues.

After checking out the forum for a few days before posting, it was apparent that you were friendly and helpful, but I found it odd that there was such a shortage of women amongst such an enthusiastic group of Live users. It occurred to me that by making a joke as to a female announcing her arrival in a fraternity house, I might get some smiles while getting my questions answered promptly...

I didn't know that my title would cause such a bar room brawl!

Luckily, I have a sense of humor and am quite used to hanging with the boys- In and Out of the studio...

So for any of you that are questioning my gender, integrity or intention... I assure you I'm for real, a real female Live user... and after
enduring 72 hours of endless hazing, I think I've passed initiation, wouldn't you agree?

May I be granted honorary membership into your cigar smoking, whiskey drinking, Live strictly "Men's Only" establishment?

Let the board meeting commence....

sarcasm is lovely, but when it (however unintentionally) reinforces sterotypes, methinks the intention gets lost amongst the reality of a male-dominant culture.
