because back in the days women were not allowed to do music

Come on, women are weaker than men. Is it any harder to assume they're less intelligent, too?
>>
Most early electronic/musique concrete artists are women. You obviously just started listening to music/listen to only one genre.

Good musician ≠ good composer
For example, the musician behind pet sound are god-tier musician but they didn't write a thing, start with that.

>there's no famous female composers?

I don't even consider myself sexist but thhat is bullshit. the fact is that men are just better at making music (and art in general). men are more artistically inclined and care more about art.

She composed many of the greatest pieces in Gregorian Chant, which was usually sung during Mass and other Western Christian rituals.
>>
>>64719667
Plaestrina composed many more, and many which are far greater in my opinion

The only difference is that there was no affirmative action or equality myth back in the day. Wealthy women have always had the most leisure time and the most privileges in European civilisation, but they still don't accomplish anything.

Gubaidulina > 90% of canonical male composers

>>64719753
?? You're comparing a medieval composer to a renaissance composition, obviously the latter is going to be more sophisticated

>>64719600
Insufferably retarded post, no one is saying they were ever making equally good music, the point is they couldn't for societal reasons pursue composition like men could
