Feeling a little under the weather today.. merrr.

Had a discussion today regarding how I handled a situation online. Goes like this: boy on internet forum decides to post that he wants to bail on his date with a girl (who is apparently a doctor) because he'd rather stay home and play video games.

Also, at the time of his post, he was supposed to be meeting her in half an hour.


Hookay.

Chances are, half an hour to the time of the date, she's already dressed. Bailing is bad form. Terrible form, really.

And I definitely tore into this kid about that fact.. Who ditches a woman who is clearly smart, interesting, and talented, so he can stay home and play video games??!?

Okay, so I missed a key factor. Boys get nervous and do stupid things. PEOPLE get nervous and do stupid things, I wont gender qualify that.

Anyway, this point was brought to my attention earlier today, and I felt kinda silly about it. I didn't mean to tear into this kid quite so harshly, it just came out pretty hard. I guess internet forums have a way of bringing out the vicious side of me, sometimes.

Have a nice slice of Julie Pie

I'm Julie Pie aka DJB from Torontojungle.com. I'm an active member of the Toronto drum and bass scene, as well as a Dj.

Shocking, I know.. a girl dj.. Unheard of, right? No. Not even close, but you'd think so considering the type of sexism female djs put up with on a regular basis in this scene.

Our talent is trivialized, and we become novalties relegated to "girls only" dj nights once in awhile. And even still, we're forced to constantly defend ourselves and our right to play the music we love.

So, I'm going to post critical musings here regarding sexism in the scene, but I'll also be blogging about topics that come up in day to day life, always with a feminist view, of course.
