Can you figure this out because I can't.  Maybe she felt alone in her gender? That's a bit sexist k. Maybe she felt alone in her self? How can that be sexist when many women feel this way because of us? That's where I am going with this by being direct and to the point. All the superb female musicians I've worked with for years have been threatened by the bully male mentality. I have also been told by a majority of them that women friends in their life pressured them to be something else other than a musician. All and from both sides of different genders seem to invade their space. I seem to think this may be the reason in the sensitive and artistic woman to feel feelings of depression toward society when it comes down to who exactly they are and who they want to be. I believe a majority of women feel this way in their sub-con. I think it's un-fair and not justified. I take it very seriously and respect them for their talents and I can surely see as a human being what it is they are suffering through. True, but I believe this also applies to men.

Renate Knaup,Heather Findley,Joan Baez(non prog),Julie Driscoll,Rachel Jones,Inga Rumpf,Dagmar Krause.........There are various examples of talented women in prog and other genres.For me progressive rock is a music addicts mania,I don't care about gender,we're all equals with our qualities and shortcomings.Women who play want to be recognised for what they do and not for their bodies.Moreover they don't care about their  hotness when playing in front of strangers,they keep it for the people they love.
