In this current Vanity project, there were several 70s hits with female voices. So, statistically, something should have come up voiced by a female.

This means one of four things:

1. It was a statistical fluke. Move on.
2. To combat this apparent misogyny, Betsy should open her own streaming service.
3. The service actually DID play a tune with female voice and Betsy missed it.
4. Betsy's friends at the restaurant should be incensed that she's more focused on the music than their physical company.

So, statistically, something should have come up voiced by a female.

Just as stations that play "50s music" just play the youngsters' Rock, Elvis, Doo-Wop and Blues, and omit top selling non-Rock acts like Percy Faith Orchestra, Pat Boone, Dean Martin and Rosemary Clooney, "70's Rock stations" omit '70s hits that weren't straight up rock. Heck, "You Light Up My Life" is pretty much a Waltz with an orchestral arrangement! The Carpenters are a PURE Easy Listening/Adult Contemporary play, as are the Streisand, Peaches & Herb and Roberta Flack tunes. "Donna Summers and Gloruia Gaynor's "I Will Survive" are straight Disco. "Tie a Yellow Ribbon","Love Will Keep Us Together" and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" are straight "pop" plays and don't fit the oeuvre of a station that plays Springsteen and Led Zeppelin.
