your post is the most sexist on here chief. if you have a sick mind like mine. seriously I think the guy has a point about the locker room type humor that exists in any traditionally male environment. When there are no women around we act like children! Period! We only ever act adults to impress women or to make money to get power to impress women.
Just think about all the audio innunendo: Nice Rack, this sounds like a big hairy ballsack, this has balls. etc... it's all about genitalia in the studio/stage

the women I know who work in audio are cool with this tomfoolery and bring sophmoric sex jokes to the table themselves. I can understand, however that many would feel left out. as more and more women get into it this will change though......slowly
