Regrettably, there are those in the music industry who don’t see gender inequity as an issue at all. As in all areas of society, they instead turn complaints of sexism in the industry around to blame the harassed. Or, in response to a lack of female representation, they’ll argue that female musicians barely exist; or that they do, but simply aren’t as talented or skilled or generally up to the task as men. This last notion makes your stomach turn, and it emphasises the need for an industry-wide attitudinal shift.
