I'm sure as hell getting my butt down there - I found an advert for the last frock-on in the guitar shop next to the cafe mono a day after it was all over. (and a very nicely done artistic advert it was too)

Not making that mistake this time!

in search for equality in the scene havnt u just made a new group that discriminates people for stupid reasons such as gender

i diff agree with more girls in the local scene but isnt having ur organisation a bit far and hypocrytical?

i mean the obvious thing to do would be to organise events for everyone with the intention of having bands with girls in them, or bands/events that appeal rather then souly making it about equal or above equal rights for women?

[i apolgise for spelling/grammer mistakes and also the fact that it doesnt make sense]

ill be quiet now

kthxbi

hey fockin,

Thanks for your thoughts...I have actually been writing a minizine to try and answer such faqs. Here's a very rough draft. Despite its under-construction status it hopefully still manages to explain some of the reasons why Frock On exists and what its for.

http://www.frockon.org/draft.html

it'd be cool to see you at the gig Dec 6th,

But yo yo yo. Boys can come along to the gig at night if they want.

I come, as per usual, wheeee.

FashionWhore · 1st November 2003, 09:00 AM

i wasnt to be obtuse or ask stupid questions to get a rise i was geniually curious

anyway yes - ive read ur draft and it is a fair point, i understand that the workshops etc help with the female community and that some of the activities are meant obviously just for women but (even tho i cant argue with facts) i dont believe that female rights are so unbalanced in this day and age - i personally know noone of the opposite sex who i regard as lower then me (on a personal/social or work related front)

i also believe that even tho u are right about the lack of females actually performing in bands that does not mean that ther isnt a high level of scene input from females - take for example the gig last nite at the beat bar - half the crowd (at least) were female

basically all im saying is i agree with ur idea in concept but im a bit confused with certain issues

thanks for ur time

Society's still fucked. The only job females get paid more than males in is modeling (excluding the sex industry). Can't be bothered ranting too much, but I think this fact says a lot.
