The Music Industry’s Problem with Women in Rock with She Will Rock You

Why does the music industry insist on relegating female musicians into this mythical “women in rock” genre? Instead of continuing to ask women the tired question “what’s it like to be a woman in music?” why don’t we start asking men “what’s it like to benefit from male privilege in music?”.

In this episode, we’re joined by She Will Rock You podcast to look back at the women who have defined rock music and how they’ve been treated – from Heart being called incestual lovers to Phoebe Bridgers being criticized for smashing her guitar on SNL.
