"In some ways, being a female metalhead is like being a female involved in any male-dominated hobby or profession. You are either: (i) examined more closely by your male counterparts because of being female; (ii) you are treated the same way as a male; (iii) or you are dismissed offhand." (Ice Maiden, Metal-rules.com)
Thats what an editor for metal-rules.com had to say and she went on to say "Most men at shows probably aren’t automatically assumed to be at shows just because their girlfriends like metal. However, it is a repeat assumption that I must be at a show because of my significant other-even if I’m at a show alone." (Ice Maiden, Metal-rules.com)
Men often stereotype and she goes on to say "The most annoying type of metalhead is, of course, the guy who assumes that since you are female you simply can’t REALLY be interested in the music, so they don’t even bother talking to you at all." (Ice Maiden, Metal-rules.com)
That goes to show you that females can be metal. It's not just a "Mans" genre anymore.
And I agree with her, women are susceptible of listening and liking metal music. So you can't say that women go to metal concerts just because their "Man" is there for it.
Thats just something that I found that was interesting.
