Sadly, very few of them feeling like joining this board
SurferGirl7 and Hart will do
Is this a shoutout? I feel so special!
Aside from my Vogue subscription, giant shoe collection and Zumba classes, I've always been more of a guy's gal. I love sports, played college softball and I got second place in our fantasy football league this year.
I don't think it was in this thread, but the last time the female fan thing came up, some mentioned that there are probably more men into being hardcore fans because they are more prone to obsession and being collectors. I am totally obsession prone though. If I get in to something, I have to know everything about it. Generally, that's a good thing, I think. That's what made me a good student, a good nutritionist and what makes me come to this board nearly every day.
As far as the draw to BB/BW specifically, I think it's just the music itself. I could listen to Pet Sounds, Smile, Friends or Wild Honey hundreds of times on repeat. People always point out the misogynist aspect of the lyrics, with the exception of the obvious things like Hey Little Tomboy, I always found them to be really sweet. I think it comes from a place of putting beautiful women on a pedestal, not wanting to keep them down or something. And what could make you feel more womanly than a guy worshiping you? Besides if some guy came up to me in high school and said he was going to hustle me, I would have been very intrigued.

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.
Check out the

I find that Beach Boys fans are overwhelmingly male especially fans of the post Pet Sounds era. I even heard on a radio show once that women consider a song like God Only Knows to be a typical guy's idea of emotional sentimental music :S

Hey! That first paragraph pretty much describes me
I think I annoy my friends every time I get into another band... whoops.
And I feel the same way... I don't enjoy digging too deep into things that other people find offensive... However, I don't think I've ever met anyone else who likes the Beach Boys nearly as much as I do, so I guess this has never really come into conversation for me, at least, concerning the Beach Boys...

I don't really think that lyrical misogyny is a big thing at all, I just brought it up because I've seen it mentioned before (here and elsewhere) as a reason for there not being tons of female fans. My views on feminism have changed a lot in the 3+ years since I wrote that post, but I still don't find that Beach Boys lyrics are really problematic. Mostly, the worst stuff are gender stereotypes being reinforced, but there are actually quite a few songs that seems to celebrate girls that are able to be equal partners in a relationship.

What's scary is that people find Beach Boys lyrics to be misogynistic. I guess *everything* is misogynistic to some folks.

Feminism needs erased from thinking processes on top of it.
Newsflash - if you live in Western civilization, that's the best deal women have. Go over to the camel cowboys in the Middle East and talk about feminism. Go ahead. We'll be waiting for your return.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

Feminism had a place a century ago. Now it's just entitled white middle class liberal women who want special treatment and hate men because they think men are the reason for it.

Thank you Mikie! of course it is mutual...but feminism is the belief of female equality, so men can be feminists.
Sort of gender-neutrality...
