It always surprises me that more women aren't into e-music, 
especially via laptop/pc avenues and art school conceptualizing. I 
guess it's more of a techno-geek thing, and that's still a largely 
male domain... though by no means are all of the 
e-musicians/composers I know obsessed with soft/hardware, so who 
knows. Perhaps they're just tired of being hit on at every event!? 
Just an idea...
