If that's true (my assumption is that you're saying that you can't tell who wrote what) then it would be the definition of whatever-ism (e.g., sexism) if the music by one of those group is under-represented vis-a-vis the other, right. I have no idea what if anything is under-represented on the site or not, I'm just taking what I believe your point to be to it's logical conclusion.

On the other hand, it would be very interesting to know if there IS a gender- or race-related sensibility that shows up in guitar music. My guess is that there ARE subtle differences, if nothing else then in the lyrics of the songs. Perhaps also in genre. For instance, are the proportions of men and women in metal vs folk the same or different?
