You're welcome Jimmy, hope you find it useful. I really need to get stuck into it myself. Was doing some reading on a blog and stumbled upon a link to this old article which did the rounds several years ago: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/dont-mock-goths-futures-bright-for-the-men-and-women-in-black-470765.html The one about goths being misunderstood and more likely to end up in good jobs, turns out it was Dunja Brill who did the research behind that too. --Previous Message-- : Wow, over three years and still getting info! : Thanks blckench. As the subject still : interests me I may check this out. : : --Previous Message-- : I know this thread is old but for anyone : who's : still interested in this subject there's an : academic book on the subject by Dunja Brill : called: "Goth Culture: Gender, : Sexuality & Style". : : : : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Goth-Culture-Gender-Sexuality-Style/dp/1845207688/ref=sr_1_9?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1310392456&sr=1-9 : : I haven't read it yet but intend to. It : looks like an interesting book. Goths : interviewed in the book are from Germany, : the UK and US. : : --Previous Message-- : Hi to any readers, : : I'm doing an essay for my sociology unit and : am trying to dig up some info. : : From my general interest in the subculture : over the last few years I get the impression : that females play a large role in shaping : the culture. Many goth sites, such as this : one, seem to be maintained by women. : : I was wondering whether there is a divide in : the culture between guys stuff and girls : stuff, or is it that neither gender having : significantly more influence then the other? : Are there macho/chauvinistic (traditional : male values) branches of goth where women : are marginalised? : : Thanks in advance, : : Jimmy : : : : :
