I agree that country music is more conservative. But what does that have to do with gender of singers? Are conservative men more likely to sing country songs? Or not listen to women singers? Or are there more men that listen to country music. I expect that conservative people are also split 50% women just like most other large groups.

It's not a 50% split, not in my contry at least. I just checked the internet and it doesn't seem to be a 50% split in the US either [0]. And all that Twitter/public partisanship seems (at least to me) even more skewed against women, whether it's right wing or left-wing. And more authoritative right, it's between 5 and 10% (but women in those groups seemed to have a lot of power a few years ago). Here the source is 'trust me bro', but I used to be in an antifa surveillance group. We documented privately people going to far right meeting/exercises, some of us infiltrated the groups, and if the information was interesting, contacted journalist with the information (the last big 'revelation' about neonazis in the French army was from a group similar to mine). The 90/10 split male/female friends is what we noticed in meetings (in bars it was 95/5). Which was weird because it roughly matched the street occupation groups like LJG (watch groups were close to 50/50).

The kind of macho patriotism present in country is pretty masculine, so it does somewhat limit the topics that women can sing about and be popular for.
