I listen to metal and stoner rock, from the top of my mind I can think of only 2 bands that include women (Acid King and Electric Wizard).
> I somehow doubt that you play guitar, so I should also point out that playing a heavily distorted guitar is tremendously fun for anyone.
Wait, what? How the hell you concluded that from my simple assumption (which might be correct or not) that there's a boys-like-distortion gender norm?
I suppose we have a different understanding of what a gender norm is.

I guess I misunderstood that, but it really sounds like you named a boys-like-distortion gender norm because you think it exists. I disagree because I have been drawn to guitars since I was in my teens and I've gotten into way too many bands that rely upon women. My friend Shawn introduced me to an Acid King cd the last time he was in town and I have been a fan since. I'm always glad to hear someone mention them as they're on my 'must see live' list. There's a really neat doomy stoner band called Black Moth that has come out with some good stuff. They're sort of like Sabbath with female vocals.
- nandemo 11y agoI think it exists, but a gender norm is a social construct i.e. there are certain expectations that boys should behave like this and girls should behave like that. When I say such a gender norm exists, I'm not implying that it's a biological thing or that boys are better at this and girls are better at that, or that I agree with that particular norm. Sorry if it sounded like that. I'll check Black Moth, thanks for the recommendation.
