Forum - Week 7 - Gender and Music Technology, Can you tell the difference?

In the last week several people talked about their views on gender and music technology. The discussion got quite heated at times, so I tended to stay out of it for as much as I could. I particularly noted Dougs presentation, as although he had interesting ideas which I tended to agree with, he did not portray them as soundly as he could of, and many people did not agree at all with his views. After the general talkings (without really getting anywhere I might add) about why there arent many girls in the industry (a few people tended to stay away from this all together) Stephen dropped in with the idea of also talking about gender as a more broad term, including sexuality as well. I was also left with the quote in my head from Bjork "Choosing between men and women is like choosing between cake and ice cream." I think I can safely say I will never eat icecream cake the same again.....
