I know I'm an unreconstructed sexist bigot but women shouldn't be allowed to sing "Great Balls Of Fire" any more than they should be allowed to commentate on football matches. One exception only - Mae West (re GBoF, not football!) Mind you, if some of the rumours about her were true...

Mmm, I agree with you about Mae West. My partner used to say women can't compose classical music, can't direct movies, can't conduct orchestras, can't become really great painters....
When you think about it, for whatever reason, white males predominate in all these areas. Is it because they are more talented in these areas, or because they have more opportunities?
But there are always exceptions to the rule. A handful of women who can sing rock'n'roll, and I still maintain one of the greatest film directors was Leni Reifenstahl. She made many great non-political documentaries besides 'Olympiad' and 'Triumph of the Will'.
