Reasons women in music and art are often overlooked

Some might say that it's purely a matter of statistics, ie. more men are involved in the making of electronic music than women so it stands that more of them would get exposure. This is a logical point, but what this logic fails to address is the importance of the female contribution to the arts.
Women do experience the world differently from men, and so the music and art they create is highly unique. For most of history, we've seen the world through the eyes of men, and if we are
to be a part of creating a more progressive future, it's imperative that we as a world begin to perceive the importance of woman's expression.
Persistence on the part of the artist and faith in their own vision plays a huge role in the amount of exposure they receive, the dilemma here is that it's historically been crude for women to push their own agenda. If things are going to change though, allowing ourselves to be more aggressive in promoting ourselves is an essential part of making our voices heard.
Many cultures tend to normalize the male figure as being superior by default, and this often times implies that if women are equal or superior then it can be perceived as a direct blow to a significant part of what popular/mainstream culture demands of them. It needs to be understood that the creation and reception of art and music need not be about ego, but about the sharing of human perspective which is much needed in this precarious time of human history.
