Bands such as Paramore, No Doubt, Evanesecence and The Black Eyed Peas have all adopted this line up, although are the women in these groups seen as equal to the men? Seen as an object of male attention/ in a sexual way? Or are they truly valued for their talent, regardless of specified instrument? Also any attitudes on feminism?
Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
Thanks
Andy

Hayley Williams and Gwen Stefani are pretty much considered the leader of those bands and Fergie is well known outside the Black Eye Peas. Why wouldn't any one see them as equals?
