Women In Metal

Over the weekend I had a really interesting conversation with a lady who believed the only reason that the majority of women weren’t interested in sports/science/cars (the list goes on) was due to how they were raised.  She believed that most women have “Princess” shoved down their throats at a very early age, which gives young females a preconceived notion concerning how they are supposed to act.

This would explain why seeing women at a metal concert or in a metal band is such a rare occurrence.  Sure the amount of women in metal has increased by over 100% in the past 30 years, but you still see them being objectified by not only fans, but also “metal” magazines.

So why do you believe there are so few women interested in metal?
