    Ron is right about people not caring about the gender that made a track. I didn’t know Rap and Dazee were female until I saw an article in a DJ magazine, and I bought their music consistently through the 90’s.

    I dont really agree with the position that female DJs are being discriminated against. If anything the current situation is they are being over promoted. Any young good looking female DJ can end up with huge social media followings overnight, just based on looks. Not the quality of the music. This is a doubled edged sword for women, because it also means that when they get older this following will stop. DJ Storm is still one of the best DNB DJs and whats her social media following?
    Also look at what happens when these female only events or similar happen. The quality of the line up drops. Check the Edinburgh International Festival Contemporary music line up this year, its almost entirely female as a new woman has taken over and compared to previous years its simply not as good, because less females are into music and lower quality artists are being booked to tick a diversity box. Another issue is the me too movement which if anything has had the same knock on effect in music as it has in other business. Men are avoiding working with females because a false accusation made on social media can destroy a career. This seems to be happening disproportionally towards black male artists, mainly from white female DJs who surprise surprise are their competition for slots. What is also strange about some of the complaints females are making about the scene is that there seems to be an expectation of safe working environments in dance music. When was it ever safe? Its always had major involvement of drugs and gangsters and anyone regardless of criminal background can get involved, theres no HR dept. It makes little sense to think the people involved will be anything other that what they are. I agreed with Rons initial point, guys who are there for the music dont care if its a male or female. The problem is that the identity politics and feminism thing which has been shown to be about female special treatment is an instant turn off for guys who lets face it make 80 to 90% of the DNB crowd. This idea that line ups should be 50/50 when its not even a 50/50 crowd split is nonsense, as is the idea that somehow "women are better because they have to work harder". They arent and they dont.
