Stop virtue signaling. Imagine getting upset over music from 40 years ago not conforming to your radical modern standards of "equality". We are not "trolls" as you call us. We are Americans that see your nonsense and are calling you out on it. It's not always about vaginas.

Maybe they played a married woman’s voice, however.

Maybe Betsy is in a “Man’s Cave” during “Man’s Hour.” Maybe she isn’t welcome there and didn’t notice.

So many Americans are such ***holes these days. They wake up in the morning just looking for something to piss and moan about. Spoiled brats? Yes.

Go someplace else then, Betsy.

You can do that in a capitalist economy.

"We have been in this restaurant/bar for over an hour. They’re playing classic rock, mostly ‘70s. Their music service has yet to play a single woman’s voice - not even a duet. Not even *backup*. #JustNoticing"

Oh the horror!

Speaking of being out and getting offended - or in my case offending someone...

Wife and I went out Friday night to dinner with another couple, then stopped in a local watering hole/distillery for a taste of their signature bourbon. Two tables over were 4 very attractive young ladies and a middle of the road looking young man.

At one point I made eye contact with him and instead of a smile/nod that said "nicely played" my smirk seemed to convey what I was really thinking - "girls night out, and you're just one of the girls..." I could literally see his face "fall" as he realized I was silently laughing at him... Seriously, you're at a distillery that makes a signature level bourbon, and you're drinking some sugary mixed drink like the other ladies at the table? {snort}

This woman is making a fool of herself on Twitter.

I lived through the 1970s and the airwaves were full of Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Nicks, Olivia Newton-John, Donna Summer and at least several hundred other major female performers.

Take all the hits from the 1970s and put them on shuffle and you may well hear an hour or two of just male voices (or maybe all female voices). Means nothing. And even if the restaurant was purposely avoiding songs sung by women, so what?

Women like this are not doing their gender any favors at all by sending out tweets like this. Once a woman wraps herself in a mantle of victimhood, she is confirming for all to see her insecurity and her inferiority. A victim is looking for rescue. Maybe she is waiting for a man in shining armor to storm into the restaurant on his war-horse and force the owner to put on a Helen Reddy record.

This sort of thing really bothers me. Because everybody knows the best music was made in the ‘50s.

How do they know none of the singers identify as female?

70s classic rock?
Any Wings song played and she’s lying.
Very very few Wings hits lovely Lind’er is not on...singing and playing (albeit imperfectly at times).

Someone obsessed with “equality” of outcome. Surprised she didn’t record the age, sexual orientation, race, language, religion and disability status of the artists, and complain if they didn’t line up exactly with the percentage of those in the population.

“We’ve got a channel for everyone.”

So I guess you’ll have to flip to the all-women channel.

She needs better acquaintances if she is out for dinner and complaining about the music. She must be the type that stares at the phone thru the whole dinner.

I'm retired but spent my career in broadcasting

During a strike, as management, I was asked to perform control room duties on a morning radio show. The music was selected by the on-air talent. After 2 weeks, I made the simple observation to him that there wasn't a single black recording in two weeks. The very next morning, ALL the music (pop/rock) for the entire 3-hr show was by black artists...every single tune.

Conclusion: My off-handed assessment was correct by virtue of his extreme response, plus, more importantly, I learned that the leftist host was a juvenile moron.

What triggers me is going to a restaurant and hearing an hour of background music without any notes.

The music I listen to a lot is jazz from the ‘50’s and 60’s. The voices I like the most are guitars, tenor saxes, Hammond B-3 organs, acoustic basses and trumpet. I’m also into the blues. Aside from Shemekiah Copeland, my favorite blues vocals come from John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters. Equality is music is for fags who love “American Idol” and “The Voice”.
