Of course not, but classical guitar has been a patriarchy for years.
I remember Segovia dismissing one of his students for sounding too

approaching the feminine side of their personalities. Is there really
a division like this? Music is neither feminine nor masculine. It's
something else entirely.

I agree with Mr. Segovia, the guitar does not respond well tone-wise to
the touch of a sissy be they male or female, although the female will at
least have an excuse.

This is not to say that a female or a lesbian cannot produce a good
tone. Many females don't play like big sissys and many men do. Oddly
enough, my favorite guitarist tone-wise is female although I don't know
if she's a lesbian - gosh, I hope not. Haha. Just kidding - that matters
little.

So the only question that matters to me is do you play like a sissy
girl? Just a rhetorical question, I'm not calling you out. Hahaha.

P.S. You do have an uphill battle although, a great deal of it is in
your mind.

What a schizophrenic response, don first *kids* (thereby unconsciously
positing a problem) and then says the problem is in *our* heads. It
is indeed an uphill battle. Repression is a slippery slope.
