... "all male concerts?"

[ucantdefineme]

i ment all male bands or male rappers, ect...

[timetokill]

Oh, all right. That makes sense.

I was just thinking that I've never been to a concert where everyone attending was male :D

[chapstickqueen]

I think maybe she means concerts where the performances are bands with members who are male...perhaps?

Such statistics are nearly impossible to define-you could count people in the top 40, but would female singers in otherwise male bands count? And sort of defeats the point of targeting the the sub-culture, hmm?

If you could find examples of actual sexist acts in the community you're targeting-as in a venue that has never booked any female-led acts, you'd be better off going that route, IMHO. Always list your sources (my local women's group drives me nuts because they never list any sources, so it can be dismissed as hooey).

If you are University students, or have access to a university libary, there's actually a bit of schollarly work on women in subcultures like punk, women in gang subcultures, etc. It could probably help you focus your efforts a bit more. Why reinvent the wheel?

thank you, i was just not sure where to look

[trbulnt_spnstr]

you might want to post something similar in other communities like anarchofeminist or a bikepunx group or something???

in boston there's an annual event called la rivolta i went to that talked about it a lot. i have a pamphlet from there with a little bit of info. if i don't fall asleep as soon as i get home from work i'll type some out for you tonite and if not i'll try to remember this weekend.

there's also lists of feminist (any sex or gender involved) that played at the show afterwards, and there sites might have links? i have work soon but i'm going to try to be helpful haehahe

How about doing your own research e.g. like looking at local listings magazines for how many male bands there are to female bands, or interviewing women in those subcultures about their experiences of sexism, or interviewing the men about their attitudes to women. Or go and watch the crowds and observe difference in male and female dress and behaviour.

Information about the place they are actually in is going to hit people a lot harder than stuff from somewhere else.

ya, we are going to do that...or we have started gathering that
i justed wanted both to look at, and talk about
but thanks for the info
