Sausage party woot woot.
I dont think many females come to TA because we talk to each other like we are in a men's locker room together alot of the time.
But also:
Girls don't seem to be as fascinated by machines as guys. I go to an engineering school and there are barely any girls in my classes. In most of my computer classes there are zero girls, I have a couple electronics classes that have maybe 1 or 2 girls in them. I read a study on it one time where they surveyed a bunch of girls asking why they aren't into computers, electronics, physics, or engineering, the most common response seemed to be that they don't find it interesting, they just don't like the stuff and would rather do other things.
I am double majoring in computer engineering and the humanities. I am outnumbered by girls in my humanities classes. I think females prefer the more social disciplines and would rather not be alone with a bunch of machines all day. When I was younger I took orchestra classes and was almost the only male in the class(aside from the bass players).
Math, computers, electronics, technical things just don't seem to interest many girls for one reason or another, I think that hinders alot of them from enjoying trance music because being a member of the trance scene requires a small degree of technical saavy in order to be able to appreciate alot of it. House music doesnt seem to have as much of a machine fetish as trance does, you hear alot more ethnic sounds and flutes and stuff put in, which I think at least partially explains why there are more females following house.
I dont think the lack of females is trance specific, I think it has more to do with females and the appeal of technology in general. Most machines are made by men for men which sorta perpetuates the problem.
