I don't think that was the point he was making at all.
My point was that it's not like sport whereby there's a physical and biological difference that prevents equality (at least in the most part). Men and women can make music equally as well as each other.
It's much easier for a group of lads to be in a band 'cos learning to play an instrument is, as you put it, seen as "a bloke thing to do"? Wharra load o' hoss shite.
It has been far easier for men to form bands for a whole host of reasons. Including the one that @Muppet has just mentioned.
