I'm female and I dig both Joy Division and New Order equally.
As for birds, I'm not sure but I know dogs like them. ;P At least mine do. One of my American Pit Bull Terriers, Ian (yes, after Ian Curtis) used to stare at the stereo speakers every time I played "Digital" as if he was in a daze. And I had another pit bull named Taylor that would get all mushy every time I sang "Temptation."

i dont have a pet bird so i cant answer this question but i have a cat who likes to hide when ever i put them on
typical male poll this :D
of course we love 'em. And after having been spreading the gospel of NO/JD for years now, it's usually my female friends that turn out to be interested 
Well, I like NO and I can say I like Joy too now.
You can blame my boy 
for that and the Community project too.

My significant other LOVES em!
Didn'r mind being pished on @ Finsbury Park
Didn't moan too much about the £50 taxi fare from the olympia....
etc etc etc
just a silly poll
i'm sure there are some girls out there who are fans... just wondering about the whole world wide vibe... and whether NewOrder has a positive relation with the feminine side everywhere.... as far as Joy Division, I would think that if you played Closer or Unknown Pleasures it would be a good way to get most girls to exit the party pronto
Of course girls love New Order. Should imagine my Mrs has seen the band more times that most people here. And Dave Molly's Mrs has seen the band more times than most of the genuine 'ardcore. I just don't think women aren't quite so 'obsessive' about bands in general, not just New Order. It's been said New Order are a lad's band, but then name me a group who could certainly be regarded as a girl's band. You get teen-pop groups like Blue and Busted who are adored by thirteen year olds then old crooners like Cliff and Englebert and Mr Manilow who have they old birds creaming their knickers, but is there a genuine pop group around today who have a majority-female following in the twenty/thirty-something bracket? There must be some, but I can't think of anything off the top of me head. Whether it's following football teams, DJ's, groups, or whatever, it just seems more of a male activity.

That's interesting; I think it was New Order that got me into girls....

Fooking hell - "slip them a length": I haven't heard that little euphemism for a LONG time!!! But, yeah, surely everyone knows that the sound of New Order gets gussets a-moistening all across the land????
The revered Doc used to be Barney's groupie tester, he is in fact Terry Mason in disguise......that beard and sling were disguises for the blond corkscrew hair and stripey trews !

Duran Duran had a lot of knickers thrown at them at the recent gigs ! Those thirty year olds !!
After my girlfriend read this thread, it inspired her to agree to having a JD/NO 'evening'.
We watched 'Here Are The Young Men', 'The New Order Story', and one of Shug's compilation vids (thanks Shug!)
Girls definitely like New Order... although not Blue Monday when it comes on, more of a lads tune!
Most girls I know love True Faith and Regret, and loads like that shit remix of Confusion from Blade. 
Girls i know? well yea, i know two girls who love them, One is a big JD Fan, while the other likes NO more. My girl friend jessica is getting into the Brotherhood cd, but loves Ceremony, which led her to LWTUA, and other songs. And my friend Diane love Joy Division more then i do, but im a huge fan of both, so yea girls do dig JD AND NO!!!!

Can't imagine a lad doing that. You birds are a tough lot. ;)
From a March 2 email exchange with an ex-girlfriend:
[Cure and Morrissey references omitted]
bLuE oRdEr: "Finally, New Order is supposed to have a new CD out in June. Probably no concerts."
Ex-Ms. bLuE oRdEr: "UGH!!!!! I remembered you loved them, that Blue Monday song I think it was. Or maybe it was Bizarre Love Triangle."
My ssiter probably likes Joy Division more than New Order. But in Manchester Joy Division seem to be more popular anyway. Joy Division are legendary and so is Ian Curtis. New Order are still around so won't really reach legend status especialy as they have been going for 24 years.
My parents don't really like either but they were too busy looking after me and my sister to be bothered about the music scene at time.
New Order are a difficult band to place though as they have no stereotype fans.

Well, I dunno about that: go into any pub within 500 metres of any New Order gig in the UK and you'll be confronted by quite literally hundreds of men in their 30s packed twelve deep at the bar ordering pints of lager. They'll probably all have short hair (the hair may well be going, mind), like football and their waistlines will have seen better days. I remember the pubs before the 'Pool Olympia show all too well!!!
So there's yer stereotype, mate!!
