And here is a great example: Canadian Youth Soccer League: Winning by More Than Five Counts as a LossGo up by 10, let the other team score 6 with no goalie. Wait, no the other team refuses to score. Or maybe the teams just start scoring for the other team. Must be great games to watch.Maybe Bill should make the rule: If anyone rates a song sucko-barfo, it becomes Godlike! | ||

When Bill and Rebecca add a song to the play list they believe that music has value, I trust their judgment. I have to wonder if anyone who rates a lot of songs '1' really appreciates music...as Leonard Cohan writes in Hallelujah, "But you don't really care for music, do you?"

You mention a "hyper feminized" culture, I wonder what planet you are talking about because it sure isn't Earth. Your reference is very skimpy on details, it only mentions that women are moving in higher numbers into areas like education and television. Real power comes from government and corporations, the number of women in positions of power in Corporations is tiny compared to men.

The overall wage gap between men and women doing the same jobs. The fact that pornography is rampant. Thirdly, you assume that women are nicer than men and that they are behind a policy of rewarding everyone, without regard for quality. Apparently you've forgotten about Margaret Thatcher.  Women can be mean, just ask them about school where teenage girls can be vicious. Since women tend not to be in positions of power, if these policies exist they are created and/or approved by men or by both men and women, not solely be women. | ||

I think this amounts to gender bias so when I saw another negative post by this individual, directed at a talented female artist, I drafted a response that exposed the lopsidedness of his ratings. People are free to rate artists anyway they want to and everybody has some degree of bias in them but I think people should strive to be fair in their ratings. Would it be acceptable to give low ratings to African American artists or Gay artists? No, so why is it all right to give poor ratings to female artists? I'm willing to give people the benefit of doubt, this individual may not have realized what he was doing, although that seems unlikely. To say you absolutely hate 15% of the songs that RP plays is a strong statement. I dislike some of the songs but I've never given a song a "1" rating. In my opinion that's unfair to the artists, who work hard to create their tunes and who often perform in dingy dives to indifferent audiences for years before they achieve some level of success. I also don't think it's fair to the people who like the song and to Bill and Rebecca, who's opinions I respect. And, also, I'm no musical expert. Of course in the end we are free to disagree. But I do agree with your expression of support for Radio Paradise. Viva RP! Not liking female singers doesn't necessarily indicate a gender bias. I, for one, don't care for a lot of male vocalists, and I'm a guy. To compare that to not liking African-American or gay artists is a stretch to say the least. Female singers *generally* sound different than males, and maybe that sound doesn't resonate with that person. I wouldn't say that I can always tell if someone is gay or black from their voice, but I'm pretty confident that I can determine the gender of the singer 95% of the time. As for giving songs a 1, I say go for it. The ratings are about YOUR opinion. Music is emotional for both the artist and the listener. I agree that the artists work hard, but I'm not to worried about being fair to them. I doubt they're going to come here and cry if they see low ratings. | ||

| sirdroseph (Outer Mongolia) | Posted: Jul 14, 2009 - 13:30 peter_james_bond wrote: I took a look at your ratings and found a couple of puzzling things. The first is that 15% of your ratings are '1'. Why in the world do you continue to listen to a station where you hate so many of the songs? Even more disturbing is the gender breakdown of your ratings. You have zero female singers or bands with female lead vocalists in the top rating, '10' ,and only 5 out of 124 in the next rating down,' 9' - this works out to about 3% of your total 9 and 10 ratings. On the other hand about 60% of your bottom rating ,'1', is given to female singers or bands with female lead vocalists ( 72 out of 154 ). I hope this gender bias does not indicate misogynist tendencies; are you dismissive of women in general or just female artists? Look it is like this; if you are going to comment on a song in the first place it means that you are passionate one way or the other about it.
