thewall - perhaps they perceieved you as being too young , too old , too pale , too poor , too wealthy , too attractive , too ugly for their comfort levels and so give you little attention . how is it you know its because youre a girl ? it just soudns like the insecurity about being a female is coming from YOU , not them .
plus , you said that this guitar shop was in fact an exception - the only shop out of a bunch that treated you this way , no matter what the "assumption" was on . if this is true , then why would you take it personally, onto a level of your sex+gender , assuming that theres this problem in the world where chicks dont get equal treatment in music and not see just those individuals as sheepfuckers ?
i dont like to corner people when theres already people critisizing but i am tired of chicks assuming all this , and inventing this gender-barrier when the problems are mostly based on other things, like self-assuredness and personal security . as humans .
Oh , but, also,
i think i understand about the rock camp that you went to .
and i think its great . id love to go to some sort of music workshop , and i would totally feel intimidated .
i dont believe, though ,that theres a problem with being a shy insecure girl that discovered the skill of songwriting , but perhaps there was an issue with being a shy insecure girl .
anythign we're not familiar with can be intimidating , especialy in skills that we hold with high respect like music or art , so its easy to be intimidated by those that can perform them well .
