Is it reasonable to consider that "Rock" music is gendered male?

'Frith and McRobbie' referred to heavy metal and rock music as 'cock rock', and this is a fair comment. It is very reasonable to say that 'Rock' music is gendered male, not in saying that women cant and don't appreciate/play it, but the fact is that few women do actually play it compared to men. Rolling Stones published an article which supports this where they listed their opinion of the top 50 guitarists and in that list there was not one female. People may see this as a sexist view on their behalf but i feel they are just giving their own opinion. Rock music has been gendered male simply because of the facts, there are more male rock bands and has dominantly male listeners. Male and female artists are inspired by different types of music and different artists that came before and it just so happens that more men are influenced by rock music then women. By 'gendering' Rock as male, and simply stating what is true, it's not sexist it is classifying the music genre to a specific type of listener the same way folk and more vocalist types are typically gendered as female.
