Is it reasonable to consider that rock music is gendered male?

One argument for rock music being gendered male is that fact that in the top 100 best guitar players by Rolling Stone magazine, only two of the list were female and they weren’t in the top 50. Marvis Bayton points out that females in music, usually occupy the role of a vocalist, rather that a musician. She goes on to point out that the reasons behind the lack of female guitarists must be of a social concern as men have no physical advantage over women as far as guitar playing is concerned. Another aspect of rock music, especially heavy metal, that can be considered masculine are the lyrics. They are usually extremely derogatory towards women, demonstrating an aggressive form of masculinity. The guitar, especially the electric guitar, can also be seen as a phallic symbol. It can be argued that this extreme masculinity stems from an underprivileged background.  In conclusion it is clear that the music predominantly considered as ‘Rock’ is gendered male.
