Why are all the DJs male?

My first thought was "why would someone still feel it novel enough to advertise a gal-only event?" I thought, we had "one, no two, gal-only DJed events this week." I would more likely take note of an all-guy night in Houston before an all-gal night.

Then I realized what I had just thought.

Viva the DJgal revolution.

That's not entirely true.

Some of us guy DJ's in Houston are just too lazy to get out of the house

I'm wondering why you didn't multiclass as DJ/Dancer or DJ/Organizer.

Okay, I'll stop now.

Yet again proves the disadvantage of being a female DJ.

I have a background as a musician (but am not a math person by any means), so I started DJing because I thought the person hosting a radio show at the campus station sucked and I applied for that position the next year and got it. I became swing DJ by default because we had a very small scene and I had the most CDs and DJ experience.

I, too, have noticed that DJing seems to be male-dominated and I can agree with the whole men like to talk specs theory. I guess I was lucky I didn't have to break through the glass ceiling, so to speak, because I have always been one of the people in charge. I'm no longer in charge, but I do try to stay ahead of the game, always have new music, and I've recently started hosting my own venue.

Even when I was broke and poor in college, I would always put aside enough money to buy at least one CD a month. You do have to have a drive, you have to want the music, find as much of it as you can...at least that's what I keep thinking. It's something I want to do and I find it all very rewarding.
