Musical Instrument Professional did a write-up on the most patronizing things people say about women in music in an effort to raise awareness and end all the nonsense.
The article was inspired by a recent article in the HuffPosst written by musician Steph Guthrie, which we told you about back in July. When people read the article, they began a movement on Twitter, which included the tweets below:
- “Girls can’t play bass because they’re not technical.”
- You girls must be singers.” – music store employee to women customers looking at mixers
- “Do your parents know you’re out with old guys?”
- “Let me explain to you how soundchecks work.” – sound tech, who went on to patronisingly explain Soundchecks 101 to a musician with years of experience
- “WOW, a girl drummer!”
- “So you’re a solo acoustic act, right?”
