I feel bad for girls who get into metal because they will always be considered "female" guitarists/vocalists/etc rather than just guitarists/vocalists/etc. While I'm sure some enjoy the positive attention they get from male metalheads, it's kind of a bummer. I'm sure they know what they're getting into though, so they have to deal with it.
Grace Perry is a killer vocalist and is a better performer live than a lot of male vocalists, but she still gets that "that bands awesome, cuz the chick is hot" label, and every fucking person has to get a pic with her. I also feel bad for the band because they write awesome music but get foreshadowed by the "hot singer". Whatever, I guess. Grace Perry and Katherine Katz > most dudes.
The one band I can think of that isn't preceded by their female musician is Electric Wizard. I knew they were a damn good band before I knew they had a girl guitar player.
The same thing happened with me for Haemorrhage

Seeing issues like that make me feel, as a female metalhead, somewhat not up to par. It plants a small seed of doubt of me becoming a musician because "I'm not hot enough" or whatever. I know that's somewhat weird, but issues like that...just. I can't read them. While I admire some women that are metalheads/metal musicians, I just can't support the objectification that goes on with those issues.
Why are you wasting so much money on college if you are ultimately wanting to be a musician? Musicians is one of the few jobs that an education doesnt help you with.
) Because I doubt I could make it.
lets start a band! \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ **== **==
