From personal experience, I would say that mediocre female performers tend to receive more attention and good will from a mixed audience, than very good male ones. Not making any real point but that is just the way things are.

Every creation can be reduced to maths, equations and to atoms. Fine music after it is created, lends itself wonderfully well to software programs and can then be juggled with and transposed with ease Fine paintings can be shown to be only tiny particles of pigment. Science shows us the HOW of things and for some of us that is sufficient. Some of us however, need to know the WHY.
