well ... dear glenn , it seems as if u've NEVER_EVER met a german female in your
whole life ... no matter , if she's a kw fan or not !!! *hehehe* ;-)))
> Beside, you say "link between kw & their female listeners",
> but that is not what we are discussing,
fyi : that's @ least what i am discussin' here , dear glenn !!! *BWG* ;-)))
it seems like we both talk about two diff'rent aspects of the same thread then ,
but doesn't seem to understand , what the other person is actually talkin' about
!!! *sigh* :-o
so let's better close this topic , before even more misunderstandings occur then
!!! *hopeful_look*
> we (at least I am) are talking about *general female population*
> and their listening habits.
well ... i've NEVER talked about that , simply because this is a place for kw
fans ... no matter , if male or female or from which country they came , so my
main interest is to find out WHY certain females on this list like kw !!!
*smirk* :o}
anyway ... i suppose that this question was already answered by now !? ;-)
> If a woman is already a KW listener, she it outside the demographic

that's what u might have thought ... until now , but that's EXACTLY where we
obviously misunderstood each other , sorry !!! :-o
> Again, I am not talking about *German* females!
well ... 1.) a female german kw fan has asked the question , if she's the only
female ( german ) kw fan on this list & WE found out that this is NOT the case ,
so 2.) we discuss , WHY females on this list or on similar lists like kw & maybe
also other electronic music !!! ;-)

may i ask u , who this "known musician" is , dear glenn ??? *pure_curiosity*
> His observation is valid for the American female population
WHY do u think that & WHAT are your reasons to "assume" or even "conclude" that
??? *indeed_VERY_CURIOUS_by_now*

sorry , but i must admit that i'm indeed VERY_SCEPTICAL about this "assumption"
or even "conclusion" , until i see MORE_THAN_JUS'_ONE study about it , who comes
to this result !!!
btw : so far , i haven't even seen ONE_!!! :-/

EXACTLY_!!! ;-)

hm ... as kw ( unlike the "usual" techno track !!! ;-) have BOTH , "good lyrics"
& "good melodies" , i really DON'T see , why ANY female would think that their
music lacks "good lyrics" or "good melodies" , if they are
VERY_CLEARLY_AUDIBLE_!!! *puzzled_look*
sorry , but i really DON'T understand where u want to go with the above example
, dear glenn !!! :-o

sorry , dear glenn , but if u would jus' take a closer look to the diff'rent
music charts ( "top 40" ;-) of each country , u would actually see the
diff'rence ... & don't even need a study to prove , what i still think is
VERY_QUESTIONABLE to "assume" or even "conclude" !!! :-o
however ... many greetinx ,
oh jay ;-)
