OK I can go with that. But before Meytal (and the many others we have out there) we've had big female drum stars. Sheila E? Terri Lynn Carrington? Karen Carpenter? Hillary Jones? Evelyn Glennie? Ruth Underwood? It's not countless, but before the internet, we've had females for females to look up to. Just like anything else pre-internet, you had to go do research and find them, and that's what makes it so much more worth it. Youtube is inundated with drummers making videos, I don't get the idea that it's new news that suddenly there are female percussionists for young females to aspire to. So, although you say it isn't sexist, I think it kinda is.
It's like when Morgan Freeman disagrees with a "Black History Month", because just by drawing attention to it, you're making a racist statement. Why shouldn't all months celebrate black history? Or why not just celebrate history? I think just by virtue of using the label, and drawing attention to it, it is exploiting what it is. And if we're so anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-LGBTQ, anti-religion (or at least we say we are), why are there any labels at all? Society is funny sometimes.
Why can't young female drummers be inspired by Vinnie Colaiuta? Or Omar Hakim? I'm willing to bet there are females out there who are, and like me, they're probably asking why it's such a big deal? If you want to do it, you'll do it regardless if you have any role models, no?
