What a strange logic. A 'too male' sound. Loud? Fast? I've known
plenty of loud fast and even nasty women in my time. I just couldn't
imagine somebody like Diamanda Galas uttering such a statement.
I don't agree with Caroline's whinge. 15 blokes and one woman does
not a school girl choir make. And I always thought I was bad
at maths!
I have though encountered men on stage with women who
try to sabotage the woman's performance but that is men being
infantile - quite a different thing.
