"would you like to go out for a lobster dinner"

The new issue ofBust has an article on the women of WFMU, which is totally cool. It captures some of the weirdness of being a female music fan, in that there it is easier and there are more girl-positive spaces but it's still different for grrrlz. And there's the stench of the homosocial boys club, for when it comes to the WFMU message board's reception, it's all "Let's all talk about how hot the ladies are!" GAH (ok not all posts are like that, but jesus christ)

I guess I'm fed up with music boys either going on about how hot we are, approaching us in inappropriate ways ("is the prize a weekend with her?"), or flat out ignoring us (after going on about their dry spells or inability to pull.)

Still, the best thing the station ever did was the chick cut shirt.

(and this all comes on the heels of the guardian listing top music blogs and ooooo it's all BOYS)
