I love you

I cannot imagine a woman enjoying Pere Ubu.

This is the first statement on the thread that's 100% baffled me.

Excellent alb by the way, I think I might listen to it now.

while we were on tour in Italy our Italian sound-man taught us a few Italian phrases that are relevant to this thread- a show that is all dudes in the audience with no women is a "foresta di cazzi" (a forest of cocks- like our "sausage party" only more pungent) and, worse, there is an italian phrase which I've only heard, not seen spelled, so forgive the bad transliteration here, but any genre of music which Italians regard as "only of interest to men, repellent to women" is called "scaccia-figa" (loosely translates to "pussy-scraping" music). They seemed to think that technical math-rock and the proggier side of metal and harsh noise was scaccia-figa, but I can say from Baltimore shows at least that I see plenty of women at metal and noise shows. Maybe this is more of an issue in some places than others.

Like running your fingernails along a chalkboard made of pussy. Fuck, that's a harsh image. Thanks, twiceboiled.

yikes

btw I know this is incorrect but someone mentioned Atari Teenage Riot on another thread and I was all YES THEY BELONG HERE

although I guess that isn't really "masculine" music as much as it is "fuck you I am alive" music

while discussing his 90's poll ballot by email, h3lg3son spake of ATR as his own peer group's analogue for The Prodigy, who might themselves be worthy of nomination (quite a few female fans though, SMBU or no)

n.b. neither band was voted for, wd just like to make that clear

I think being a fuckin' corndog is a more masculine trait.

And it's not like you never see a chick eatin' a corndog.

ya'll are trippin - have you ever considered that your prejudice is just due to the way your conception of gender has been constructed by society

look inside yourself

RELEASE THE KRAKEN

I am absolutely certain that a combination of biological urge and societal artifact are what cause me to view violence and aggression as masculine traits.

Contrary to what has been postulated in outdated studies and by certain sections of the media, aggressive behaviour is not typically seen in hypogonadal men who have their testosterone replaced adequately to the eugonadal/normal range. In fact, aggressive behaviour has been associated with hypogonadism and low testosterone levels and it would seem as though supraphysiological and low levels of testosterone and hypogonadism cause mood disorders and aggressive behaviour, with eugondal/normal testosterone levels being important for mental well-being.

A low testosterone level can cause a lot of problems in men, particularly in terms of sexual performance. Essentially, testosterone is the hormone that helps fuel a man's sex drive. Low levels can affect mood, sexual desire, and physical and sexual performance.

A low hamburger level can cause a lot of problems in men, particularly in terms of sexual performance. Essentially, hamburger is the hormone that helps fuel a man's sex drive. Low levels can affect mood, sexual desire, and physical and sexual performance.

fairness: a scientifically proven masculine trait

BTW THE ANSWER IS RIOT GRRL

Moreover the study shows that the popular wisdom that the hormone causes aggression is apparently deeply entrenched: those test subjects who believed they had received the testosterone compound and not the placebo stood out with their conspicuously unfair offers. It is possible that these persons exploited the popular wisdom to legitimate their unfair actions.

gender roles be gettin' entrenched

why is it that artificial/social constructs have such a negative connotation w/in the context of sociology? lines like "gender is a social construct" and "race is a social construct" get trotted out as evidence that gender and race relations are deeply fucked and deeply out of step with the natural order of things. but if our society ever manages to completely redefine gender and race roles so that they have nothing to do with oppression and privilege, won't these new roles be just as artificial and just as constructed as they once were?

it seems like a lot of feminists and anti-racists (including me, a lot of the time) maintain that if only humanity were freed from those pesky rules of social conduct, it would naturally veer toward egalitarianism ...which is a pretty shaky position to hold, seeing as no one has the slightest idea what a "natural," pre-social human condition would look like. it's far safer, imo, to assume that race and gender relations will always be 99% socially constructed no matter how oppressive or enlightened they may become.

i don't really think ppl say any of that. I mean i think its impossible to say what the natural order of things really is because it is impossible to just step outside of society/culture or scientifically remove its influence and see what's left. I think what I mean at least is that the society that we have built out of these constituent parts has consistently engendered inequality, racism, domination, you know a lot of bad shit. Instead of casting off the oppression of gender roles i think whats called for is a recasting of those roles in a way that is more conducive to equality/egalitarianism etc. In this way its helpful to understand gender constructs as being constructs because it does not fall back on nature to give legitimacy to patriarchy/racism/homophobia etc.
