I'm going to open an enormous can of big fat flesh-eating worms...
Just been reading the thread about SA horn plyers from Razor and I noticed something odd about his fantasy band:
No women. :shock:
Are there really no top-flight women players out there? On a previous thread about bestest horn players in UK there were plenty of women named so some people obviously think the girls are up there.
If there really aren't any superlative girl players, why not? Are men better blowers then women? Do women have a more intuitive approach to music? Is the (potential) lack of really top women due to ability/misogyny/figments of the imagination?
Certainly amongst the players I know ability has nothing to do with gender, age, background, training etc. some are good and some are not so good.
Discuss.
BMB who has retired to her bunker... :wink:
Disclaimer:
a) This is sooooo NOT a go at Razor for his choice of fantasy band so let's not go down that road. :roll:
b) This isn't a feminist rant, I really would like to know. So no comments on my shaven head, Doc Martens and stripey dungarees.
:roll:
