“The amount of poise and togetherness that women like Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish and Adele… so many women have got their you-know-what together. They run their own companies, nobody can tell them what to wear, or what to sing, or what to play. So we’ve come a long way. It’s a fantastic time to be a woman.”

– Bonnie Raitt lists Taylor as one of the inspirational women in the music industry (Extra, March 3rd 2022)

I don’t understand why people (yall know who) choose to talk badly about Taylor Swift publicly when she an army backing her at all times. Swifties are a cult, and I’m a happy member.

CAN SOMEONE HELP A GIRL OUT?

So recently I’ve been trying to find some female role models as I’ve been playing bass a few years now and I realised that most of my bass role models are male and I could do with some more badass women to look up to.

Anyways I go on YouTube and decide to watch Tai Wilkenfeld cause she’s an absolutely amazing bass player. However I quickly realised the ENTIRE comment section was full of thirsty straight men objectifying and sexualizing her; completely ignoring her talent.

Here are some examples:

After checking out a bunch of other female bass players I found that the comment section was exactly the same: full of horny men who choose to use their ‘masculine urges’ as an excuse to make comments about their bodies.

Why are women especially female musicians always fucking sexualized and only recognised for the way they look rather than their talent and hard work? It really pisses me off as a musician because I feel like I won’t be taken seriously in the music industry just because of my gender. I also feel that misogynists in the music industry will focus more on what I look like rather than how hard I work and the skills I have.

Please feel free to message me or leave a comment of your own experiences or things you’ve noticed. Or even if you’re a musician and you wanna talk about music or something. I wanna know if other people feel the same way or if I’m just overreacting.

There was a time when the compact disc mattered, especially in 1988 when it began to be the preferred format of choice. It’s also funny to think this was also the time when the industry also said vinyl was dead and made sure to release albums only on CD and cassette, at least in the U.S. If Americans wanted a vinyl pressing, you had to check if the UK, (West) Germany, or Japan released it, and sometimes Canada.
