Read the rest of Jackmaster's thoughts below.
1) Tonight was the 1st time that the plight and/or prejudice surrounding females in the music industry truly hit home and resonated with me

2) It is way waaay too easy to be ignorant to the fact as a male DJ in a privileged position. There is something very wrong here.

3) To hear the things that I heard said about females in the industry tonight were fucking not acceptable.

4) I apologise for my prior ignorance and silence on the subject. That stops now.
