Fact: women in the Aussie music scene are grossly under-represented.

The University of Sydney Business School has found that women in the Australian music industry are paid less than their male counterparts, their music is played less and there's a lack of women on the boards of decision making bodies.

Associate Professor Rae Cooper tells Raf Epstein her report 'Skipping a beat: Assessing the state of gender equality in the Australian music industry' paints a dire picture.

I think its more likely that the paying audience is brainless young females.

And they are not so interested in female singers

Since men live 4.5 years less than females we should adjust wages thus.

Working life 45 years, as men live 4.5 years less I think the starting point should be men earning 10% more than women.

Plus men should be retiring 4.5 years earlier than women.

Abstract

Hegemonic masculinity, a framework where stereotypically masculine traits are over-emphasized, plays a central role in sport, partly due to an excessive focus on winning. This type of masculinity marginalizes those that do not possess specific traits, including many women and men. I argue sport reform focused on mitigating hypercompetitive attitudes can reduce this harmful and marginalizing hegemonic masculinity in sport. I make this argument first by challenging the dichotomous nature of sport, especially in recognizing that all outcomes are a blend of winning and losing, that ties are relevant and informative outcomes to contests, and that winning and losing do not always tell accurate stories of the outcome. Secondly, I contend that expanding the potential outcomes in sport can help broaden the emphasis of competitive sport to take into account playing well and improving, in terms of both the test and the contest. I conclude that these reforms decrease hegemonic masculinity, making sport better for all.

Soon it will be 'heteronormative, fallocentric bigotry' to be competitive in sport and elsewhere.

Artistic excellence has been trashed already, sport is next.

The researcher had an agenda and modified her methodology to get the outcome she was looking for
Its a total fraud and we should not be spending research money on trash like that

Indeed.

You make money in the music industry by writing songs.

It's all about the royalties.

John Farnham doesn't write his songs, and that's why he has to keep touring.

I'm struggling to think of any female songwriters in this country.

That is, women who write songs for other people to perform.

Aimee Mann is one of the most successful songwriters in America but is only known by the public for her video with Til' Tuesday.


Dolly Parton is another. She wrote Whitney Houston's biggest hit "I Will Always Love You."

The Go-Go's broke up partly because the two songwriters of the group were making all the money. It wasn't Belinda Carsile writing those songs ...

You'd probably recognize the song "Voices Carry" by Til' Tuesday.

Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go's is amazing but it was Belinda who got all the attention.

Dolly Parton didn't know Whitney Houston had recorded her song until she heard it on the radio one day ...

Now Miss Universe Spain is a BLOKE!!!  'Her' name?  Ponce, of course.  Angela Ponce   Men are more beautiful 'women' than women in Spain. 

The world has gone bonkers and ponce.

And as a result, the notion that a penis is exclusively a male body part and a vulva is exclusively a female body part is inaccurate. By using the word “parts” to talk about genitals and using medical terms for anatomy without attaching a gender to it, we become much more able to effectively discuss safe sex in a way that’s clear and inclusive.

For the purposes of this guide, we’ve chosen to include alternative words for readers to use for their genitals. For example, some trans men choose to use the words “front hole” or “internal genital” instead of “vagina.” Alternatively, some trans women may say “strapless” or “girl dick” for penis. This usage is meant for one-on-one communication with trusted persons, such as your doctor or partner, not for broad discussion.

In this guide, whenever we use the medical term “vagina,” we’ll also include “front hole” as clinically recommended by researchers in the BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth journal.

Further proof that you don't necessarily need talent to make it big in the music industry.

Thank you so very much for proving my point, and making cods look like an idiot.

As your post clearly shows, they are not saying that 'front hole' should be used instead of 'vagina'.

cods lied.

I love it when people do the work for me   

Thank you, once again.

Frank wrote on Aug 26^th, 2018 at 6:52pm:



Oh, she most certainly did.

'Front hole' isn't replacing 'vagina'.

It's just an additional term that can be used.

How stupid do you feel now?


"Some people are under the impression that Healthline is now using the term “front hole” instead of vagina. This is simply not true."

"we use both front hole and vagina".

Oh dear   

One in three new fathers worry about their mental health. Many struggle to bond with their babies, or wrestle with despair and aggression. Why isn’t this more widely acknowledged – and why won’t the medical establishment support them?



From the Granuiad, of course.

Men aren't supposed to bond with babies to an equal extent of the mother. They're supposed to take charge more in later life. maybe about 7yrs.

No he's right.
But in many other countries, cultures - its the other way around. The child is weened by all the other women of the tribe, group, extended family, etc.

Depends if that 'boy' (for arguement's sake) is being groomed to be a childless Achiever or an unambitious Breeder??

Did you get cervical screening, just so you are 'included'?

Funny how only Western Women get Post Natal Depression or any other nation heavily influenced by Media.

Maybe its because they give birth on their backs (wrong way) and have the baby's weight pressing along their spine, work against gravity to 'fall' out of the womb and have to be 'pushed' by a far more majority of effort. Then they have to take all these 'DRUGS' to alleviate the 'pain' (Challenge) of birth and thus have POST NATAL WITHRAWAL SIDE-EFFECTS from the Drugs. 

Friggin stupid Western nations - more apt at winning wars, than practicing good Medicine.

NO HAIR!!!!!!  All secondary sexual characteristics - hips, arse, tatas, makeup, thighs etc -  are ok but NO HAIR!!!!!

You fvckn idiots!!!

Labor’s Assistant Equality Minister-in-waiting, Louise Pratt, has expressed her delight at the US initiative of drag queens (male transvestites) visiting primary schools to give kids ‘glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models’.  Pratt enthuses, ‘Drag Queen Story Time is a wonderful idea that celebrates diversity.’ And Pratt is well placed as a literary critic, since according to Star Observer, the Senator is ‘an out lesbian (whose) longtime ex-partner is a trans man and activist working in the WA community.’ To diversify further, they co-parent their child with another Labor politician and his male partner, ‘one of whom is the biological father’.
