Shameful that sexism is still rampant in classical music. Why are there so few female composers?

I know you're being ironic, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that there are very few female composers.

>don't hire me, who poured in fucking years on end to learn how to recognise classical music theory, let alone compose, let alone compose well, I don't deserve it because I'm not a woman and it's her turn
Is this what's holding up the oldest Western musical tradition?
If women choose not to become classical music composers in $_current_year, I have to respect that desu

Most of the music orchestras play was written before 1950.
>Don't hire me because I'm a woman
>Hire me because I'm good at my job
This is how it should be

there is no law preventing women from becoming composers.
Every time i hear a liberal cry for diversity im hearing a capitalist cry for the expansion of a market.
Once you develop a class conscious you realize how sinister liberlism is, and you realize things like poptamism are just the embrace of consumerist culture by yuppie music journalists who despised rock music made by lowerclass white males
Liberals maintain the capitalist status quo, a liberal cries because capitalists arent extracting the wealth of people of color and women too.
Please commodify me too they cry, more women ceo's they cry.
>be a woman
>upset over lack of women in industry
>how can I, being a woman, add to the amount of women that are doing this?
>better tell someone else to do it :3
the american way is based more on a divisive identity politics that divides people of the same material conditions, black/white, male/female, gay/ straight. Class politics would unite these people against capitalist scum, but american are incapable of acknowledging class structures because they are morons.
Oh yeah, plus that law that prevents women from making music, you know.

Oftentimes the newspaper / online journal will alter the headline when the article is published and the author has nothing to do with it, for the sake of clicks.
