As much as I love seeing women performing music, I fail to see how refusing to book a band because they have no females is actually improving or promoting diversity.

I live in Wellington. On top of being our capital city, it is an amazing place that lives and breathes music and art.

At a certain point the PC pushers do start over reaching. Do artists not get booked on the merits of their work? I can't be the only one who sees this as ridiculous, can I?
