GUEST,Someone else	Should women sing chanties (203* d)	RE: Should women sing chanties	01 May 19
Should you be allowed to spell shanty Chanty? Ignoring the outrageous proposition of the thread and how uncomfortable it is staring out of your screen whether you click on it or not, it is artistically limiting to the same degree as the inferred misogyny. For the record, I reckon over the years I’ve sung about herring fishing, working in factories, mills, steelworks, farms and the office of a calico printer. Yet I don’t normally sing about mining. I leave that to those who unlike me aren’t ex miners. I’m sure ex soldiers would be bemused by my attempted empathy in war songs too. Still, I’ve yet to start a shanty claiming I can sing it because I’m a bloke and I don’t black up to sing blues either.
