I am not going to dispute the fact that there are many talented male players of the harp. That was my whole point.
I don't think you actually understand your point, then. You switched the roles on a bunk basis, so it made no sense. Why even write it?
I also don't think you're reading, or remembering, what's being written here. There are biological difference in the brain, musically, between the genders, it has yet to be extensively studied. Like I said, not black and white.
Obviously there are strength and dexterity limits when playing guitar, but they are not beyond what the average person of any gender can achieve with practice, repetition and effort.
Well for my example in my last post, no, no woman is matching that, but in general, of course. But it's been quite a long time, and we've only got a few shredders. That's the cream of the crop. Clearly there's some divide when it comes to the electric guitar and being disgustingly talented when it comes to female players.
Like I said (need to repost thoughts to not have a weird fragmented debate that's occurring right now), most of it comes in the creativity, not the skill. Let's talk about Page (because we're talking about legendary at this point). He was not that technically gifted, but he was the bands 'composer' and he did a brilliant job. It's generation-leaping. Even McCartney and Lennon weren't very technically gifted.
Most women are Virtuosos on the guitar, not much more. That can definitely apply to most string instruments. Most of the pioneers were men. Again, there were gender roles, but that didn't mean women didn't play throughout history.
Here's a good post to wrap this up (helps that it has nothing to do with electric guitar).
It's simply true to say that there are more professional male music creators than female out there. For some reason, it's taking a lot longer than in literature and the visual arts to reach equilibrium. It was deemed (just about) acceptable by the 19th century for female writers to be published, yet it's only in the last couple of decades that female composers have really emerged, blinking, out of their garrets and into publishing houses and record label offices; so, without a little helping hand, there might be a long way to go yet.
