Oh here we go with tea the white knighting male lmao. Like I care if Gove was let into a club or not. Half the early rave promoters were tories! Big fucking deal! learn to take a bit of banter.

Isn't this the exact phrase men always use to justify their "hilarious" misogyny? The white knighting chat as well.
I like how you're excluding yourself from that. Peak hypocrisy.
Explain what you mean by this please
I don't think I will. You'll just have to live with that I'm afraid.
Do you ever stop and look at which side of the argument you are actually on? Scotland has always been mad for DJ Assault, DJ Funk, Deeon etc. It's not a feminist statement, it's almost just honouring tradition at this point.
That doesn't invalidate my point. a lot of Ghettotech is misogynistic as point of fact (not moral judgment) in the same way that a lot of dancehall is/was homophobic as point of fact. But music doesn't conform to the dictates of political callout culture, which you and tea are trying to spring on me, in which case you'd have to accuse your friend of internalised misogyny, which you obviously are not going to do.
And tradition in its most broad sense itself is misogynistic and patriarchal, historically speaking.
Where I differ with you is I'm not afraid to admit I listen and dance to misogynistic/homophobic music (even though I'm not straight) because I am not looking to jump the gun and call any randomer on an internet forum a woman hater.
This post was sarcastic. Im surprised I have to explain this.
It's a good point, but i do think there is some nuance/cartoonish exaggeration to the way the music of Assault and the like approach their own brand of misogyny that is somewhat lacking in most of the homophobia in dancehall. I also do think that all of us do need to probably catch up a bit to how misogynistic a lot of our attitudes are as well, i'm not saying i am some gold standard of modern thinking.
Someone calling you out for your attitude shouldn't result in some desperate attempt to claim everyone else is just as bad as you, or worse than you, just take your L and stop bleating on about white knighting, callout culture, "learn to take some banter" etc
This is definitely true, yes. I think by the time you leave the central belt it is mostly just the sound of the music, or the memories of hearing them being played on visits to the Subbie or whatever that stick with people though.

Why didn't you just say that initially?
Would have saved us a lot of time messing around during a work day.
Because its more fun like this, comrade! Timewasting as a form of sabotage. @luka gets it. I have long since called clubs tory surveillance prisons. Frankly them not letting Gove in would have been the worst move.
Letting him in and then getting him on camera dancing to a DJ Assault record is better than anything i could come up with, quite frankly.
And that was what this post was sarcastic about. The inability for mostly UK men (but not exclusively) to face the real conditions of their clubbing and hence as you say, a level of misogyny directed to your friend. Males virtue signalling about how Gove is the fount of all evil, anything but the tories, etc etc. It's ransid. Although Tea has a bit more of a historical beef with me on this because I tend to follow Sivanandan on this.
Puke.

@tomfun Please understand that you can't win. @thirdform is a quantum-mechanical being from another dimension, and has the ability to come out with crude ladz' bantz while simultaneously being more radical than you can possibly imagine.
