How can you dislike and entire gender for their vocals?

I enjoy all of the above. Really introspective lyrics and amazing vocalists. Each of them is the reason behind me liking the bands they front, because they're all so extremely talented and amazing live.

I appreciate male and female singers. I've never even consciously considered the sex of a singer when choosing music. However, surveying my recently played music (and taking into account the singers/bands I listen to on a regular basis) the majority are in fact male.

I was curious, so I took a look at a few of my most recent playlists. Out of 80 songs I had on the first one : 58 were male, 20 were female, 2 were mixed. Out of 36 songs I had on the second one: 32 were male, 4 were female.

I also feel like the style of music I'm listening to has an impact on whether I gravitate toward male or female singers. For example, when it comes to say... indie/alternative, country, and hip-hop/rap, I tend to find myself primarily listening to male singers. Whereas when it comes to pop, I listen to female singers with much more frequency than male singers.

Bottom line though, my musical life certainly wouldn't be complete without female singers.

Come to think of it, there's one thing worse than female singers.
Duets
*Shrudders*
I friggin' hate duets.

Not every song with male and female vocals are typical "duets".

I think that's been covered elsewhere pretty extensively.
I repeat: distinguishing (or 'separating' for those who may not know English very well) a person's talent from their sex or gender is the most ridiculous thing I've read on MB (and that's saying something).

No, true. But I really mean duets. I dislike duets

Can I just repeat that I listen to the voice as an instrument, not as a 'human being'. I don't care who is singing or even what this person is singing. I just listen to the sound. And I dislike female voices like I dislike some instruments. It's that simple. So if a female sounds like a male, I'm fine with it. If a male sounds like a female, I will hate it. It has absolutely nothing to do with the sex, just with the sound.

How about if a woman sounds like a guitar?
