The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

All the women I know just crawl everywhere. That's why they have scuffed elbows.

[quote="Tricky-Loops"]And then, if women have to decide between raising children and a career in the music biz, of course most of them go for raising children because they don't want to be accused from their own children later in their life not having cared for them at all. A MOTHER HAS TO care for her children, a man can part and look for another wive, that's how our society unfortunately is.[/quote]
Why not reject the whole frame of reference that says breeding is necessary in the first place? Reframe the debate from "who raises the children" to "why have children just because traditional society expects you to?"

Java is hardly a dead end in the business software realm (where the money is). Learn Spring, and some database modeling chops.

Or learn Hadoop and combine that with Java if she wants to look at some serious money right now. While things like Pig and Hive are big, there seems to be a huge call for Java too.

Yeah, I predicted that comment the moment I saw her mentioned... and there it was a couple posts later. I was about to respond to it, because I find it to be unacceptable...
Apparently we can't even mention Wendy Carlos now in connection with her being female (and she is) or a synth pioneer, in case a couple of people start to troll...
If you weren't able to make any genuine comments in case someone later trolled your post, then this would be a very quiet forum indeed.
Give yourself another clap, Jace.
Doug1978 wrote:In truth, this thread is a bit of a non-runner.
For a start, the original post is way too vague, and also it's mostly blokes (like me) commenting about women.
(And in truth, my Wendy Carlos suggestion for pioneering electronic female musician was genuine but my SuBo suggestion clearly wasn't - although tbf, Boyle has done brilliantly for herself as a wonderful singer).
I could add a serious note about women in the industry having to fight against not only chauvinism but also some other women as well, but what's the point??
So instead I'll just add some of my favourite top female performers here who haven't yet been mentioned:
Kate Bush, Suzanne Vega, Bjork and Beth Gibbons.

Women in the music industry usually wear tinfoil hats and have 8 fingers.

So if all women were desperately trying to make it big in the music industry, why aren't they all here, complaining about their fate and blaming our patriarchal society?
Maybe they have other things to do? Are we making up a problem that isn't there?

i was being sarcastic, aside from dean I know a fair few single fathers. my mum is also a foster carer so ive known a hell of a lot of kids over the past 20 odd years who both parents have abandoned sadly.Hink wrote:dont we have a mutual guitar playin friend from the town you live in that's a single father taking care of a boy and a girl?vurt wrote:tricky raises a valid point here that explains why theres no such thing as a single male parent or kids in care...james0tucson wrote:Why not reject the whole frame of reference that says breeding is necessary in the first place?
