How many women listen to idm? Few. How many women WRITE idm music? Fewer. I
think I could count them on my left hand. My point? Many of us here would like
to find a woman who is heavily into this genre and loves it as dearly as us;
loves it to the point where they would like to write it, and not only that, are
signed! The fact that a woman like this is possible is wonderful, but attractive
as well makes it a dream, and as such, subject of conversation. Yes this is from
a male perspective when we should probably try to be a bit more unbiased, but
guess what? We don't live in an unbiased world, and the genre that this list
discusses is extremely male dominated. Until more women begin to discover this
music, expect more of this attitude.

Is Aphex Twin's tank relevent? We still seem to talk about subjects as trivial
as this. But they are related to idm music, however indirectly.

Looking at it the other way. Attractive male signs on a lillith fair type
label. Think he's not going to get prattish behavior/bs from the female fans of
that genre? Think again.*
That doesn't mean they won't take him seriously.
Is it a crime to say Chantal's attractive? Is that sexist? If i think my pet
dog is cute, does that make me dogist? No, but my pet dog has nothing to do with
idm.**

* Tried to make a reference from a female perspective. However, not being a
female, and not knowing any specifics about a "lillith fair type label" makes it
pretty much hollow, i hope my point made it across.
** I don't have a pet dog. I lied. Sorry.
