Do ATRL members have an irrational fear of men? It seems strange for a forum full of gays, yet there is evidence to support this. At least in terms of musical taste, the members of ATRL appear to have a fear of male artists. Make no mistake, this has nothing to do with genre, but gender.

Acts like iamwhoamiwhoiam (whatever her name is) and Bjork (an experimental pop artist) receive attention on this website, while male artists who make more accessible music that is popular with the GP are ignored.

Let's look at a few cases:

iamami... - Blue Album Thread (63 pages)

vs.
Gwen Stefani (irrelevant artist) - "Baby Don't Lie" Single Thread (91 pages)

In each comparison, the male artist's music is either more popular with the GP or more or equally accessible compared to the female artist's music. So why does ATRL not give the male artists the attention that they deserve? Do male vocalists scare you? I thought gheys were supposed to be misogynistic, but it seems that the opposite may be true.

Someone explain this for me.

Male artists are basic.

Those just aren't things you can compare, haha. The gays have always gotten their life from diva bitches.

I don't get it either. I for one stan for males and females

Who knows. I love all artists, female or male.

Well considering that in every option of your comparison, female song/album is much better, its well deserved.

And there you have it!

This. The way to have a hit thread about a man on ATRL is the '... serves abs' or '... in a towel' method, little to do with music

Derulo and Pitbull suck. M5 is okay. They are all pretty 'basic' though.

ATRL is a pop forum, so FOB or any band like that doesn't really have a chance. Idk about Smith, people just find him annoying I guess.

Because male pop artists are boring...? Literally all of them. Male rappers and DJ's are where all of ATRL's interest goes, and rightfully so.

Jason Derulo is more relevant than Gwen? Lol

gurl, just stop it

What ATRL loves more than anything is the female pop singer. I can link you to countless last.fm profiles of ATRL members where this makes up their whole top 15. However it's not exactly male hate per se.

That's a whole 'nother debate

we need a modern day MJ to spark the interests..

Don't worry, I'm going to be it!

Girls who are less girly or have less of a girly look also get less attention
