For whatever reason, the vast majority of musicians are men. Whether that's because of something inherent, or something cultural, I can't say. It obviously doesn't help that sexualization of female artists is fine, whereas no one really cares about sexualizing male artists.
But I imagine the relative lack of non-pop female artists is a more driving factor, since if there were more female artists who weren't looked at as just ****ty pop singers, then they would have more respect. There isn't a female Rolling Stones or Metallica, not just because of sexism, but because there just isn't a female Rolling Stones or Metallica.
