Just a quick ten minute google of the simple question, 'Do males and females prefer different types of music?" produces these two contrasting results...the first makes reference to an academic study on young peoples' musical habits in the wake of the Columbine incident, conducted by Iowa University:
"Male and female listening habits are markedly different, too. Teen males tend to use music for emotional stimulation, while females may look for reinforcement of an existing mood, the study says."

And this one with an opposite slant is a journalistic reaction to an article by a UK music director, about possible attitudes to musical analysis:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2008/feb/20/womenmenmusic
In short, there ARE people out there researching these things as best they can. Whether one agrees or does not with the findings of any one study, whether one might ask questions re the environmental conditioning of taste with respect to sexism, the mere idea that these things should be veiled behind some sacrosanct no-go barrier doesn't stop such research being done out in the REAL world, nor should it.
As regards the Dan stuff, I think we all appreciate that Dan has his own idiosyncratic way of expressing himself, and that he never meant the thing to come out exactly as he said it. We've read his stuff for a while, we know he isn't an ogre. He meant no harm. Actually everyone here knows this is the case if they're honest.
But how much more fun to knock people with put-downs in mock Jane-Austen prose and intellectual self-congratulatory pomposity. Ah, the trappings of academia....

Maturing through experience from ignorance to knowledge – this is not only a guiding principle for the Enlightenment, but also a paradigm for personal development on the FSM message board. I would have thought that the critical posts from both men and women in this thread had given you sufficient grounds to reevaluate your untenable position as well as the means to deal with your empathy deficit.
Ah well....
'The Enlightenment'. By God sir, you'll soon be up to scratch with the 1790s if you race on like that. The Regency prose, the over-reverence for classical references, the .... DON'T TELL ME. You teach school history. HOW DID I GUESS? I'm RIGHT, aren't I? Go on, what do you teach? Are you in the debating society? I bet you're in the debating society.
It's a big world John, (May I call you John?) and it's the 21st Century. Einstein and Rutherford and Bohr and Heisenberg have come and gone, and Gore Vidal is no longer the talk of the town, and we have STRING THEORY 'n all. It's AMAZING up here.
Y'read a lot of Jane Austen, John?
Now, about that Iowa research above. Is it hooey, John, is it hooey? D'you think women have souls, John? D'you think phlogisten is a valid field of research? Is it SOUND, John, is it SOUND?

I will repeat again, anyone who could actually believe that all things are indeed equal are thinking in a freakish manner, example and this has no prejudice at all in it's intention. let's take 2 nations Ireland and Italy, if i was to say that in both nations there are good people, ok people, bad people it would be wrong of me to make a judgement or say one nation's people had more good people then the other, then that would be a case where one could accuse one of bias remarks which cannot ever be proven since there are millions of people involed and how could one prove one is better then another . It would be a foolish statement , however what if it was possible to find out and get a exact total of everybody in one nation against the other and ask a class of kids that we found that yes indeed a certain act is done alot more times in one nation then in another[be it a positive or negative act], one of course will say well of course i really didn't think out of millions of people the total would come out exact, but then some over senstive person of which i am referring to MMM as an example were to say, no you can't say that it has to be equal with all and start yelling and accusing the man who brought out that the total was not equal is bias is prejudice etc etc, well i would have to say that person who is telling everybody and yelling is not being logical to the fact out of millions of people i don't think the amount of people doing an act is exactly the same, that is silly of course it is not the same.so check the newstands and tell me i am wrong, nothing in this world is equal, people are different woman's brains are different then men, The freaks are the people who are trying to brainwash the masses with lies saying something is equal and it is not. Thy truth thy set thee free, i believe i read somewhere years ago that a indie station in New York wor-TV CH 9 in New york, got a much larger amount of males watching their more non mainstream product then CBS[mainstream product], CBS got a large female audience with the male audience another example of my original point folks.I think if one was to take this further we could give thousands and thousands of examples, but oh yes that would offend the people who live in the fantasy world of MMM AND rUBY, where the lie is the truth and the truth is the lie.

What you're saying doesn't even follow. In your given example where there's a statistical disparity between Italy and Ireland in terms of committing a particular act, you would conclude that there's an inherent neurological difference between Irish people and Italian people? Because that's the argument you're making with respect to gender.

I am saying that one could not say one nation has better people then the other but that indeed different nations will have different amounts of certain acts being committed and if you would go around saying that is not true that it is all equal then you would be lying to the public with a false satistic, I will give you an example, Basil Wrathbone has just stated and i assume it is correct, that men running the country in Saudi Arabia pay men [a act right] much more money then they pay[paying is a act]woman in their job force. ok he wouldn't have made that remark if i am sure he was not trying to give an example that , this was wrong because in Nations like England or America, men and woman in charge will pay[a act] a woman more money per hour then the men pay the woman in Saudi Arabia, RIGHT, RIGHT RIGHT, which means that defends the statement i made, certain acts are commited at different levels in different cultures and countries RIGHT, but as i said before people like RUBY AND MMM, want to have the pie and eat it too, when you want my statement to be right it will be right when you want to tear it apart it will be torn apart.Of course the acts of Ireland and Italy are different and the amount of them are different totals just like MR Wrathbone is saying about Saudi Arabia against say America or Germany etc etc, nothing is the same, nothing is equal, that is what i was saying from the beginning, GOSH.

You seem really confused about what statistics actually imply.

Wow. This thread has traveled a long distance away from film music. Dan, I feel like the thread is now nothing more than a series of rants from you. Y'all are gonna have to agree to disagree and get back to what this forum is about, m'kay.
