Thread Name: best thing seen at a folk club
Subject: RE: best thing seen at a folk club
Anybody called Dave (except Mr Eyre):

This is a truncated, West End theatre bill-stylee extract of a quote which fails to reflect and, indeed, distorts what I was saying. That some embittered, attention-span challenged, brains-in-Levis male person who thinks music venues are there to pick up women who don't mind should attempt such a transparently cheap trick is unsurprising.

What I said was "Synonym.com says: Sorry, I could not find antonyms for 'misogynist'." And, as a matter of accuracy, that is correct.

Women I associate with do not automatically stereotype men as, well, hardly 'inferior' but with inflated superiority pretentions (until of course those that are like that prove it by their crass actions). Misandrous women generally have an agenda: they've been subjected to oppression. And the antonym of 'misandry' is 'philandry', an activity scarcely confined to women. Not that there is necessarily anything wrong with that, it's just how it's done.

I cannot but return to my earlier assertion: the best thing to be seen at a music venue is musicians of whatever gender playing excellently.
