I know we’re a forum of men but there’s something wrong with this thread. What about we kill it and make sure we’re sharing and giving props and keeping things equal in relative threads… _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.testpressing.org/t/women-smashing-it-right-now/3086/67))_ ---

Fair enough. I started this thread to shine a light on female artists that deserve a shout out but it you think they’d be better served in the regular threads go for it ---

would be cool to get more female posters involved. What puts women off joining in? Have any of your partners ever expressed an opinion on this? My gf was tempted to sign up but shyness won out ---

Oh it’d be so great if it was more mixed but you know - we have such a nice place whatever works really. And @joe - no shade at all as it’s a lovely and good idea as it needs highlighting. for some reason it just feels more equal to treat everyone the same and just getting on with it (if that makes sense). ---

Before voting I mentally swapped ‘women’ for ‘black/gay people’ and it seemed obvious that the thread was a wrong’un. But then I asked my wife who lectures feminist theory within a music business context at degree level - from her perspective a thread like this is a good thing! She says that positive discrimination or how much it is used is always dependant on the context/environment - if this board was populated by more women, or younger users who are naturally more used to female djs & producers then she’s be against it, but it probably isn’t (who knows about the lurkers!) so a place to highlight high achieving women is a good thing. Personally, as an ancient white male who knows very little about the dance music culture of the younger generation, I’ve had my ears opened to lots of good stuff from this thread that I’d propbably not be exposed to otherwise. ---

Go and change your vote Tim! I mean for me one of the key foundations of this place is equality. If other people - gender / race / whatever - want to join then we know as a small community that we are making sure we’re doing as much re that as possible. ---

OK I will concede but I want to see all of you giving props to the girls across the forum 'cos I wasnt seeing it and that’s why I created the thread ---

So most of my favorite DJs from the last three years are women and those are: Livwutang Kia Sybil and Pjenne. Not really a balearic crew, but they are very, very good, each in their own way. Otherwise, one of my all time woman DJs is Sassy J. I used to listen to her playing live a few times in club Zukunft, back when I was studying my master studies, she’s amazing.
