A quick scoot across a number of forums over the last few years yield all kind of stereotypes: you pick girls up, they don’t pick guitars up / women are dumb, can’t tell a P90 from a humbucker / they can’t play and they definitely can’t rock / they don’t belong in a band / they are mostly nagging old wives and girlfriends who don’t understand etc etc – I cleaned this lot up as most of you will know.
It’s difficult to break through this one so you give up and stay safe as a rule. But it also makes it really difficult to find stuff out and ask questions.
Sorry you've had to endure this in other forums. I don't know how it got decided that you had to be in the boys club to play electric guitar; that's a stereotype that needs to go away. There are quite a few women who play amazingly well. That was established long ago so anyone who doesn't get it isn't paying attention
