I just... can't. Because I have actual work to do today. But when you follow up a quote like:

"If they're a bunch of guys and they're young and they're funny and they tell rude jokes, you have to be a woman who isn't shocked by that and can, as a matter of fact, crush them all with three words."

^^^^which is getting at something, WRT the attitudes one encounters, and the expectations and barriers that women have to feel comfortable facing.

with:

"The more stringent and insurmountable constraint is the biological one. A man can, technically speaking, reproduce on his coffee break. It doesn't take all that long, and biologically it doesn't take much of a toll. For a woman, the opposite is true.

I do not have enough FUCK YOU in the world for Prof Rogers.

Because reproducing and "lack of interest" are not things I have EVER experienced in the world of production. But other stuff, oh boy I could write you a book.

But like I said, I've got work to do.

"There are no social barriers to a woman becoming a record producer," says Prof Rogers.

yeah this ^^ made me make an actual face at my screen, like wtf

More and more, I've had gals running sound at shows I've played.

indeed, and it's a refreshing sign of equality that women doing sound can be dicks just as much as men.

a healthy 85% of people involved in professional A/V are d-bags
