olaaaaa,
this is an excellent summing up of all that is wrong here... i didn't except to find soo much c.r.a.p. under the carpet .. you can call me a troll, but i don't think i'm so braindead [maybe tired].
I didn't start this thread on sexism
i started this thread mainly because i wonder why some women feel the need to create their own structures and events, and why we go straight to separatism, separate women and men, [here don't forget DEBIAN was created by DEBorah and IAN, i never knew if this one was a joke ]
so why we should have different agendas? one of the reason is that women can't take this macho c.r.ap. anymore.
because I didn't have any particular complaint against this list although I can remember some situations outside the list:
- once a pd friend said to me that still no women wrote an external, ah
yes I would like to program a external I said. He said oh well Yves can do that you don't have to do that.
- i never the patches of the _persons_ i worked with before,
i will not start tomorrow.
-once a pd friend which I wanted to talk to said ah! you are the visual artist that works with Yves. that was ok but there is this prejudice that women doing pd do visuals. Ah no, I make noise.
in fact, i do more of the visuals now but we don't use video anymore, text is more interesting.
-once a pd friend said that his professor said that women can't do sound because is too abstract for them, they need the materiality of visuals
so Zeena Parkins, Laurie Anderson, ... never did anything..
best, sevy
