Women in Metal (goth, solo, band)

DISLCAIMER: I am not a sexist pig.

Women don't belong in metal; or hardcore, onstage or otherwise. The thing that bugs me most about hardcore shows are the girls. They just stand around in their dotted shirts and spandex tights, taking up space that should be used for the pit. As far as onstage is concerned, they just don't belong there. Metal (and likewise, hardcore) are first and foremost about machismo ("a strong or exaggerated sense of manliness" [Dictionary.com]). Give it up, ladies.

At first it was comical; now it's aggravating.

Oh but you are a sexist pig.

However I do believe woman have no place in metal, but my motivations are not sexist, because I also believe men have no place in metal... Puh puh ching.

Just kidding folks.

theres nothing stopping women getting involved in metal... but fact is very few are any good at it (hardcore and Avant Garde are a different matter). for most Metal the female vocal range doesnt go well with the music IMO and i hate operaric vocals. There are a few exceptions... but often i dont think it sounds right. As for female musicians, theyre as good/bad as the men, just not as common.

but saying Women shouldnt attend shows is sexist. i am as much a fan of music as any guy i know. pits are childish.

Just so ya know, I'm usually a forerunner in the pit. If nothing's going, I'll get it going. And at Gigantour this year I helped start a dirt fight. I agree with chicks that stand around though. I mean, I can effing mosh, and these lil twig girls there with their boyfriends get all pissed off when someone hits them. I hate it. I hit one of those girls with dirt on purpose! But girls do get in the pits at concerts.

You are a wanker.

Have you ever listened to any female musicians? I suppose you think we shouldn't vote, wear trousers, drive, go to school, drink...
