Having come across some v misogynistic attitudes across social media on heavy metal boards I thought I would start a thread were is women fans of all things hard and heavy could hang out, feel free to say hi.

Metallica and Iron Maiden are my all time favourites. One is so powerful and I love Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets.

Fabulous. Like minded ladies.

Black metal fan here. Encountered all sorts of misogyny from 'you probably only like them because you fancy them' 'go on, name one song!' And 'did your boyfriend get you into them?'
I'm a metal fan. Have been since a teen. I introduced my then boyfriend to loads of bands like strapping young lad, Mastodon, type o negative, Sepultura, Jack off Jill.
Now I look like any other suburban house wife (I'm not but you know the look) but my heart will always belong to metal.

Hi all.
Favourite bands are Metallica, my first ever album was master of puppets and then Halloween’s keeper of the seven keys. Also love to listen to Korn, and currently Nightwish, have lost count the amount of times I have seen them live.
I listen to different types of metal, but thrash is my all time favourite.

Hi there!
Fellow metalhead/rock chick here.
I grew up on sixties rock n roll and 80s hair metal and by the time I'd hit my early teens had discovered grunge and heavy metal. Pearl Jam and Metallica were my first loves.
I have loads of favourite bands and songs, but my biggest love is Marilyn Manson and has been for about 20 odd years now (well aware that he's in the midst of an awful scandal so save the hate).
I am absolutely an aging goth! Other favourites are Rob Zombie, In This Moment, Slipknot, Mushroomhead, and Rammstein.
