The Number One Reason There Aren’t More Female DJs

The number one reason there aren’t more female DJs is that people spend all their time writing hackneyed “thinkpieces” about why there aren’t more female DJs.

Why don’t you just book them (or bug your local promoter to book them), promote them, manage them, spread the word about them, seek them out, follow them on social media, buy their tracks, remix them, write about their work, talk about them to your friends, and/or encourage them in real life (and on the Internet, trollface)? Or would you rather just moan about it?
