>>
>>64044730
Because our culture is inherently sexist towards females.

This a) discourages them from picking up instruments that men have a monopoly on playing

and b) means that women who play guitar are less likely to get recognition, less likely to be taken seriously and/or less likely to be seen as having the money making potential to be promoted and become popular, therefore, we tend not to hear about most of them because they tend not to break out of underground scenes

Ignoring the /r9k/ crossposters, it's mainly because rock is a relatively male dominated style of music, and it's uncomfortable to be in a four piece band where everyone but you is the opposite gender. I'm a guy, and have worked with all female line ups, and it's weird.

There are female guitar players though, just not in the mainstream rock bands really.

I personally know at least two chicks that play guitar pretty well though, and gig regularly with a bassist who's female, so I'm not sure what to tell you really.

lol yes "institutionalized sexism"

Fuck you that's bullshit, there's no guy just sitting there passing judgement on girls for trying to learn instruments, and even if there are guys have to deal with the same bullshit.

Institutionalized sexism can exist but it's not nearly as big of a factor as your lefty cucksites will make you believe. The reality of the situation is that girls tend to avoid these hobbies, not out of fear of persecution, but simply because it doesn't appeal to them.

One could say "well that's because there's no good role models for women in music." which is more bullshit because there's plenty of them. Feminists will force you to believe that someone is inherently one gender despite their bio, but if you imply that people tend to have a predisposition for interests they'll lose their shit

The only guitarist that people not looking for instrumentalists is going to know is joe satriani, and that's just because of satch boogie.

You're right that girls technically have all the opportunities available to them to learn guitar, but music is still culturally sort of a boy's club. As OP said, 95% of guitar players are males. It takes extra emotional effort for a girl to a pick up a guitar because shes forced into a position of standing out, even if it may seem welcoming to everyone else. By your logic, you could argue that 95% of dancers are girls just because guys don't like dancing, but if it was about a 50/50 split, I think things would be different.

Pretty ridiculous how people on mu like to pretend subtle cultural undertones don't affect people, especially when everyone on this board seems to think that women are fundamentally incapable of understanding art. If, hypothetically, there was a girl that did, in fact, understand art, she'd be told that she either had shit taste or was simply listening to weird music to show that she's "not like the other girls" and present a fake persona. Do you honestly believe those kinds of assumptions, implicit or explicit, don't affect the women's motivation to learn music at all?
>>
>>64044934
I don't think you understand. Rock music became popular at a time when it was basically impossible to be a woman and play any sort of rock instrument. The reason it doesn't appeal as much to them is BECAUSE of the male dominated history of rock music. So women musicians have been promoted by the corporate industry only if they fall outside the context of traditional male dominated rock music. Hence female folk acoustic singers, the rise in girl pop/synth pop stuff. It is also again because it doesn't appeal to them to try to compete with a field that is stacked against them. Of course that has been slowly changing since the late 70's.

If you don't think the male dominated history of rock music has affected in any way the willingness of females to play rock music themselves I don't think you understand how social psychology works.
>>
The argument shouldn't be "whether I stitutionalized sexism exist", but "whether institutionalized sexism matters".

Men and women are inherently different creatures and neurologically behave completely differently, obviously the implications of their behaviour will be reflected in the macro-scale of society.

Trying to change that is retarded.

It's crazy how being female vocalist is somehow considered a "genre". It only further emphasizes the point that being a woman in the music industry is considered exceptional and that humans' natural fear of standing out is what is causing a lot of potentially talented women to stay the fuck away.

What are you talking about. Artists get promoted if the label can make money out of them.

It's not a competition between the genders who can dominate the industry. The conpeititon is being the better musician.
>>
>>64045048
You mean the people that are all singers and in bands? I don't get your point anon.

>>64045094
Because guitarists only get famous if they're in famous bands apart from those few I mentioned. Skill level has nothing to do with it, nor does gender.

There's plenty of bands with female singers or instrumentalists that don't get any praise though, despite them being pretty good.

But honestly, rock as a whole has been male dominated for ages, and it's nearly impossible to gel with a group that's entirely the opposite gender. I know, I've tried it several times, I can't work with a group of all women, it's uncomfortable and kind of weird, and when I play with male only groups, the women we've hired at points, who were quality members, felt uncomfortable and ended up not working out.
>>
>>64045099
Exactly. And likewise if Grimes was a man he probably would have been laughed at for being too girly and not a 'real' musician. Because we have a whole bunch of expectations of what genders should and shouldn't do in the music business. The reason girl pop is becoming so mainstream again is that it fits within our current social boundaries of what women in music can do and also pushes the boundaries slightly in terms of female empowerment and individualism. Which of course coincides with current rise in pro-feminist youth.
>>

Why is it crazy? Don't you know what a genre is?

>>64045050
/mu/ is an awful example of anything because it's literally a bunch of social outcasts attempting to sound cool.

Realistically though, if there's no one actively trying to stop them from learning then what is the problem? Right now, besides extreme cases I don't think there's anyone actively trying to stop girls from playing guitar, and if you disagree you probably would prefer an environment that panders to women/girls. I don't think it has anything to do with emotional effort, it's a matter of what a person will enjoy or what is available to them (whether or not they were able to pick up an instrument, or take dance classes.)

We need to move past this "oh women don't have a fair shot at things" bs because it's detrimental towards that 50/50 split you talk about. I'm not saying we can't put more women on the cover of guitar magazines and stuff because we could, but to say that two middle class families with two kids the same age but different genders don't have the same opportunities to pick up an instrument would be asinine.

Tl;dr If someone has a genuine interest in something they'll do it, especially in the internet age.

Also there are plenty of "fake" people in the world, male and female, and personally I don't discriminate if I think someone is liking something just for cool points

I'm always reminded of the fact that if women spent less time bitching and complaining about inequality and male oppression, and more time DOING THE WORK, perhaps they'd find themselves in the positions they seem to so desperately seek.

But then that leaves me to question, in this particular case, whether or not they merely like the IDEA of playing the guitar and would rather make excuses about why they won't learn to play. But hey, the world certainly doesn't need any more musicians -- especially ones who's hearts aren't truly in it.

Take it from a musician -- if you really wanted to play... you'd fucking play

I completely agree that, technically, yes, they have the same opportunities. But there's still that disproportionate amount of males that OP is talking about. I'm fairly certain there's nothing in a woman's physiology that makes her fundamentally opposed to learning the guitar or uninterested in music. Given that, I was trying to theorize WHY there isn't a 50/50 split. I'm not trying to propose any major social upheavals or pander to women in any way, because BOTH genders have their own unique problems. I'm simply pointing out a cultural bias in society, which is the same bias that causes less men to be teachers or nurses, thus answering OPs question.

I'm saying that that's a stupid way to try to justify your opinion. The world doesn't work in black and white. Just because it's technically always possible for someone to be recognised commercially for their music doesn't mean that it's a 50% chance... And we should all know that even if you are talented, regardless of gender, it's still not a 50% chance. So don't you think there are other social phenomena and economic reasons at play? You don't think the male dominated history of popular rock music makes any difference at all?

Yes, and male oppression would be a very tiny fraction of the cause. Social norms? Perhaps, but this comes back to the fact that if someone has a true passion for an instrument, they'll play regardless of stigma/societal expectations.

But the more weak-minded musicians that are weeded out, the better

>You don't think the male dominated history of popular rock music makes any difference at all?

Not today, no. It's people like you that make imaginary fears and boundaries for women when women have all the opportunity in the world in modern times.

>There aren't more female programmers because sexism and male dominated field
Literally NOTHING is stopping them and absolutely encouraged and even celebrated in modern society.

I'll even go as far as to say it's more socially accepted for a woman to be in a male dominated field than for a man to be in a female dominated field e.g. nursing.

Have you considered the economic implications of the slightest tiniest miscalculation?

Recognizing biases in everyday life isn't a movement. It's just part of understanding what it means to function in society, and getting a sense of what is and isn't considered socially acceptable. These tiny biases can have tangible effects in the macro world, like the smallpopulation of female guitarists. Things fall apart when SJWs put labels on it like "feminism" or "egalitarianism", which cause people to pretend that sexism just doesn't exist, because SJWs are inherently stupid and wrong. Since when did acknowledging the fact that the difference between men and women is largely a "nurture", not "nature", issue become so ridiculous and unheard of?

That is true but my point was debunking the point of the anon that women in rock aren't recognized. Regardless, there are far more female pop stars than male pop stars. We could argue reasons why but it just is what it is, there's no 'sexism' involved in the bigger picture as to why there are differences.

> It's like trying to make a list of white musicians
Are you racist? There are many successful musicians of all races. Hip hop is dominated by the African American demographic, just as early blues is/was. But I guess you being the true racist all you focus on is 'muh evil whites' 'muh oppression' to see successful minorities.

So now you're blaming "tiny biases"? You claim there aren't more female guitarists because of history. Then explain the rise in female psychology students, since that was once a male dominated field.

These "tiny biases" if there are or aren't, are not an issue. They are non-existent in the force of someone who wants to become a musician. Your exaggerations of these so-called biases is one that's creating a culture of fear.

disregarding all the bullshit, strawman, ad hominem arguments I'm seeing in this thread, the answer really depends on whether you believe interest in music is a fundamental quality you're born with or something you learn as you grow up, or a combination of the two. i don't understand how the second and third camps suddenly became degenerate tumblr-core, because people assume you're talking about evil male oppressors.

woops sorry guys XD I'm just a silly SJW girl. I seem to have made a mistake.

After reading through all your enlightening comments that contain a lot of proof and evidence, it turns out that sexism doesn't actually exist after all and the whole world isn't structured around what will make the most money for big businesses which is not in fact influenced by social norms at all! Therefore our music industry has actually never been influenced by gender or the expectations of how much money women can make in comparison to men in certain genres of music. Also, I now know that I can be taken seriously in any field and earn the same amount as any man. And that jobs that majority women do aren't economically valued less simply because we are women! Also I know that women are just biologically different to men which explains our lack of interest in wanting to become serious guitarists. And of course most of us just end up thinking it's too hard anyway and give up! XD This means that actually myself and my silly female friends can now proceed to view the world as a totally equal and fair place with equal opportunity for all. We are going to form a synth pop band because everyone these days loves cute girls who play synth and sing! It's a good thing that it totally doesn't matter whether I'm good looking or not either and that won't influence our ability to be popular in any way shape or form! Thanks guys :)

the number of females that identifies as feminists has been declining due to the radicalization of some members (also known as 'feminazis') that are delusional bitter women that blame men for their failures. most women are rational and don't want to be associated with that. so the last part of you post is not true.

image is such a massive part of her appeal, too.
she's a genuinely good musician, but no one could deny the fashion/art shit fits within the scope of whats appropriate for a girl in the music industry. no one is looking at oneohtrix point never for style and makeup inspiration.

its not an active oppression, its more like a passive system that happens to favor men more than women in terms of exposure and success in performing music
>>
>>64045829
>passive
>in other words, it's all in my head

Yeah, no. Again, with the fearmongering.
>>
>>64045811
>male oppression doesn't exist from my perspective or experience, therefore it doesn't exist at all.
>>
>>64045836
passive isnt a synonym for imaginary
>>
>>64045811
The term "male oppression" was only introduced by people here arguing that doesn't exist, trying to straw man the opposing argument. "male oppression" doesn't exist. the idea that one gender in this contemporary western society is OPPRESSED by the other is stupid. pretty much everyone agrees on that, including moderate feminists. issues of gender inequality are far more complicated than "male oppression", yet they still exist and affect both males and females alike.
>>
>>64045842
but "uninvolved" is.
>>
>>64045703
But it is.

You are arguing that the reason there are not as many female rockstars as male rockstars is sexism. Unless you are a different anon..
>>
>>64045829
Sure, it couldn't possibly be that men, in virtually every artistic medium, are simply more ambitious and due to a number of other psychological factors (testosterone??) more likely to produce quality work that doesn't simply follow a rote formula.

And let's not forget the fact that women are part of this "system" of oppression. Lets not pretend that they dont generally hate each other
>>
>>64045740
if you mean pop superstardom like taylor swift or beyonce, even then youre not correct on that

I am correct on that. Females dominate the pop genre. Most of the worlds biggest pop stars have been female

The real difference between men and women is that women sit around whining about being oppressed (when they have exactly the same opportunities as men) and just do nothing

Men on the other hand get on with it and succeed
>>
>>64045802
I'm kind of having trouble deciphering your clusterfuck of a post but I think we're pretty much agreeing on the same things here.

>guy is a mediocre player, no one gives a shit
>girl is a mediocre player, everyone freaks

Yeah, obviously the majority of that praise is because "HOLY SHIT GURL PLAY GUITAR". It still doesn't go against the claim that dude made about people not holding female guitarists to as high of a standard.
>>

>>64044850
Seriously though what is it with girls and studying psychology?
>>
>>64045884
You don't actually believe that this is the real difference do you?
>>
>>64045734
Yeah, I'm getting that message, it's the same as actual SJW's just calling people white males or racists, it's a way of going "you're wrong", without actually saying why or how they're wrong.
>>
>>64045909
Have you thought that in some cases using these 'buzzwords' is actually way of highlighting a much broader and harder to define power structure that influences our entire economic and social system?
>>
>>64045905
Because thwy want to learn how to manipulate and deflect with more proficiency.
>>
>>64045928
chill brah hes on our side
>>
>>64045907
If women are so weak minded that they're dissuaded from their passion by someone tut-tutting about them being a female guitar player then they don't deserve success in the field
>>
>>64045909
There have been many concise arguments to your illogical opinions. You just dodge them because you can't debate them properly.
>>
>>64045884
kek good b8
>>
>>64045959
>"You"
>>
>>64045955
So you think that the wide statistical data illustrating the difference between the number of successful guitarists who are male vs female is completely explained by women being weak minded?
>>
>>64045883
>>
>>64045994
>the wide statistical data
Stop talking bullshit, you haven't seen any such data whether or not it's true

Anyway there's as much evidence for my claim as there is for yours that women don't succeed because of oppression (none)

Women just want different things in life and are less likely to choose the rock guitarist lifestyle
>>
>>64045959
But there haven't been, I claimed that there's generally less women in rock, someone listed a handful, and I claimed that next to no guitarists get famous outside bands, in response to which someone listed bob dyland and other famous singers or guitarists in bands as proof.

I wasn't even trying to argue, I was giving a reason why I thought there was less famous women guitarists.
>>
friendly reminder that one of the top 3 rock guitar players in history is in fact a woman

I'm not saying that, I'm saying that simply calling someone those things doesn't make them wrong, and that we should always attempt to actually address whatever argument is being brought up, instead of just dismissing it on the grounds of "I disagree".
>>
>>64046058
The problem is we are on an anonymous board. People have responded to those ITT claiming its because of sexism. Perhaps people have mistaken you for a reddit tier feminist
>>
>>64045928
it's always this conveniently vague and "hard to define" shadowy force working against minorities and women

yet the only evidence ever is that there are differences among groups, therefore oppression must be the answer!
>>
>ITT: /mu/ gets invaded by EverydaySexism

FUCK OFF. STOP TRYING TO INFILTRATE AND RUIN EVERYTHING.
>>
>>64046163
Yeah, it's the downside of anonymity, conversations involving a few people turn into cluster fucks, where no-one really knows who they're talking to. Poster ID's are great for that reason, same as they have on other boards.

>>64044730
Boys are told from a young age they need to do stuff to get somewhere in life and to get women. Girls are told from a young age they're beautiful princesses who inherently deserve everything. Most discrepancies between the sexes - no matter who they are skewed towards - emerge from this.
>>
Women are inherently more intellectual than men, and by extent are attracted to more intellectual instruments like the piano, harp, violin, etc. instead of rockist "instruments" like the guitar.
>>

Conveniently, not one of you faggots responds to actual proof when you get it handed to you.
