Why does prog attrack more males, not females?

no i will not digg my fits to far into the Land of Confuion espessially If You Can't Dance or cry for Mama to help,

I would have given this answer to Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks and Phil Collins theys seem to have observed the problem at close hand (Invicible touch ) and wanted a less bearded audience

For local networks, routers enforce NAT (network address translation), so your lan IP is secure. It also helps your ISP in that they don't have to give each machine on your lan a separate IP. For instance, if you post any where in the residence halls on my uni's campus, it'll look like it's coming from 1 of 3 IP addrs, which one it is depends on the load of each device. Basically, I'm just saying that red-flagging ppl whose posts come from IP is not necessarily a good practice.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT

A lot more went into that person being banned than just matching ip numbers. It was pretty obvious something very fishy was going on, I knew there was a double personality going on there, matching ips and matching email addresses were the icing on the cake.

Where there's a rule, there is often going to be an exception, but men seem generally more inclined to take music 'seriously' This is tricky to articulate without sounding like a mysoginist, but please bear with me..

In general terms, it often seems more important to a male music fan, how good a musician is on technical level. Women tend to like something if it simply appeals to their ears in some way. Men are natrually more inclined to be 'nerdy' and into collecting things and being an 'expert' on something which arguably doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things; a favourite band, film director, a football team etc

Exploring prog through a forum like this, is sometimes like one long game of Top Trumps. Who's the best drummer? Who's the best shredder? Who had the best beard?? I've noted that our female members are less inclined to be part of these discussions.

It's a boys will be boys thing imo. Who's got the biggest Yes collection etc? Women dont really seem to give a sh*t about such things. Why women seem to like prog less than men is simple, the men who play prog rock, and the men who listen to prog rock, seem more interested in prog rock, than they do in women...

I just had to say something. Having the same IP doesn't mean the traffic originated from the same machine. Just means they came from the same gateway! I agree this was probably a case of a doppelganger, but I don't want to get banned if my roomie behind the same router joins!

I introduced one of my friends here at school to Magma (I know, taking a big chance of alienation ), and she enjoyed them well enough.
