Message:: [QUOTE="seth77, post: 4749757, member: 56653"]I wonder if this (still lingering) dynamic of shows and clubs being male-dominated would not change with the rest of society, as it becomes more and more equal, inclusive and hopefully free. This is what comes to mind for instance when I see Israeli women and their attitudes, likely resulting from the fact that Israel opened up even the most male-dominated domain -- the army -- to the skills and perspectives that women bring to the table, achieving in the process both the empowerment of women and the evolution and diversification that new insights, interests and minds create inside a given structure/field. I also think that many of us have more often than not the feeling that "just leaving things be" and "life's not fair/such is life" allows lots of individuals with an excuse to not try, not be interested, not be curious. The more people are actively involved in a field, especially one of high intellectual vocation, the better off that field is. That being said, I have to admit that the "activist" approach of "less demographics X" does not feel inclusive nor positive. And to me it reminds of "class warfare" and all the nasty stuff brought by the collectivist ideologies of the 20th century.[/QUOTE]
