To say that the music industry is sexist because theres a distinct lack of female guitaring role models its utter rubbish!! There are tonnes of female artists, its 50/50 between male and female in music right?, and just because these female artisits/guitarists lie in different genres doesnt imply they arent given the same opportunities as male guitarists.
Why should it bother you that theres no females you know playing guitar? Whats gender got to do with anything? Are there any people you teach who are blind? If not, does that bother you? I think your being what you would call sexist!
Theres a lack of female rock guitarists therefore the music industry is sexist *yawns* gimmie a break!
Heh Id love to be a women, you have more rights than men in todays society and in the cases where you feel you dont you get to cry sexism!! :rolleyes:
Okay, I definitely don't recall ever saying that there was sexism in the music industry. There was someone who said sexism doesn't exist, and I was replying that because thats bull ****. Sexism sadly still exists today in some cases (not all).
I wasn't being sexist, just as a female guitarist I'm allowed to be concerned as to why other females don't participate in the activities I do.
If I am sexist I don't care. I mean guys can be total pigs. If I were sexist I wouldn't give guitar lessons to guy. I'm not a die hard feminist or anything.
Anyways my point is don't put words in my mouth and antagonize me.
