The Gender Gap in Music

1 BigUp

Ok - So female tries to do something…
and ends up shooting a motherfucker…

that’s what I’m talking about…
added dimensions of stress that guys don’t even consider.

Anyone read that article about the journalist who was pressured to have sex
with the person who was providing her a place to stay?

The guy was a colleague of a friend who made her travel arrangements…
and she was pressured buy this guy to do him…
and because of all the trouble her people went through to set her up for the job…

She thought it would be a personal and professional embarrassment from multiple angles…
If she brought it out…so she just surrendered

and it fucked her up pretty bad mentally…

  • it’s a multi-facetted control issue
  • that women do not put themselves in…in general.

The women out there achieving things are probably the ones
who haven’t had a lot of stuff go down…(and that’s probably not true)

You want to know where all the others are…

damaged or avoiding damage

safe at home in the kitchen - like that Billy Idol video…dead

Yeah it’s not even a gap

It’s like a hole in the ground women has to stand in. There’s no level playing field anywhere else either.

Sometimes I think just expressing the negative gives it power…

You know the saying - Ignorance is bliss….

Well - to me that is a flattening affective disorder…

  • pretending like nothing is wrong.

yeah it’s fucking gross

I think its in some ways about mortality

its like saying: please remember we all have to die so do you really have time for this?

just sweep it under the rug we have death to think about

:corncry: :cornlol:

Beyoncé is worth $450 million while even the truest heads are probably still paying their mortgage.

Beyonce is ad money - not music money….

Destiny’s Child was not popular AND on it’s way out
when I first saw Beyonce in a Pepsi commercial….

My Dad said she was a hunk - so…go figure

You guys remember when Lady Gaga got caught
buying large quantities of her own product on Amazon.com

Why would she do that?

To breech the best seller list…
Because once your name hits that - ubiquitous marketplace

  • money will just roll in for virtually no reason….

false popularity sells

I guess what I’m trying to get at here….

in some distorted round-a-bout way…
that someone already commented on….

is maybe…

the route to success for a man…
is infinitely more treacherous for a female…

thus completely re-defining success for the female.

I mean - what if to be a successful DJ
you had to turn on every gay man sexually…

you know - the full black and white roman pose thing was a requirement…

  • would you do it?

some people are just naturally good at it….

I personally want nothing to do with that bar…
That bar is automatically in place for women.

I can’t even go around other women without getting it.

So basically you’re saying you adhere subconsciously to pre-designated, out-dated societal gender roles?

No - I said I didn’t have the issue…
The framework still has it….

this is a mouse gone crazy in front of the mousetrap…

“What’s two plus two, gonorrhea.”

Dsf delivers this morning.

Beyonce is more than one product if we’re going to use those urrrrgh terms

Her Black Disney christian whore angle is definitely succesful and super marketable, we all know this.

But from a producer standpoint she’s also very influential. She picks up trap beats or makes a beat that sits with the times. But she’s never late in doing that. Always almost on point. To be able to have that commercial ‘freedom’ she’s had to hit home a lot of times with suits.

I think Jayz is just by association holding her back a bit. He generally steals whereas she just delivers.

Just saying… Im not that much of a fan. . .

No for real though…

I am so out of control that I can’t get my shit together.

turn down for what….

Focus - for what?

seriously though - I love music

  • but couldn’t give a shit about being in front of a bunch of people.

How about….

DJing/Producing is a VERY expensive hobby….

  • and you’re going to have to relocate to Berlin to make a living at it…

That’s very off putting to your everyday girl…

And guy.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t be making music and just throwing it out the window. Always was interested in what you were doing bm.

right…

I’ll tell you what I thought I was doing….

I thought I was finishing college,
so I could get a decent job…
to afford my expensive music habit…

now I’m even more messed up…mentally

I’m not like normal people….

I need a very liberal patron - not a job.

I just need some friends who are into music….
seriously into music…

I just need to try someones digital controller
to see if I wanna invest in one…

or should I just get logic and focus on production…
