If you want to be sexist and perpetuate gender stereotypes for musical instruments at the same time, I would suggest buying a t-shirt with this print from Lemur Music.
I’m having a hard time putting into words everything that is wrong with this image. However, the main things that come to mind are 1) the objectification of the feminine form & 2) the implicit idea that all bassists are men. His form’s not even very good. Plus, the play on bass (with emphasis on the last 3 letters) is just tacky.
When things like these are sold from otherwise-reputable musicians’ businesses & I continue to overhear statements like “you can’t play that, that’s a girl’s instrument” and vice versa at observations, I am reminded that we still have a long way to go in music education. Where do we begin? How do we fix the problem?
