I can't speak about her fans I don't really know any, I'm talking about media and the way folk react to her on this forum. You dug me up for what I said, I absolutely refute any charge of sexism, I'm just not sexist and in any case there is more sexist stuff in this thread and in most other threads about her.
There's a thread right below this in a Samantha Fish and I feel it's infested with the same attitude about woman players being somehow novel. I can't recall many threads on the hundreds of totally ordinary male blues players doing the same ghastly material round the same circuits in the same style.
Imo what I'm saying is the opposite of sexist because i think it's a sign of how far we still have to go if it's still somehow novel that a woman is a fleet fingered guitarist. I'm sure I've even heard Annie herself complain about being judged as a female artist and not just an artist. You know while I think all award shows are a right load of shite and just lobbying contests, I'd love to do away with the gender classifications.
The last thing I want to do is offend anyone or appear like a sexist pig and if in any any I've come across like that I apologise. I'm just not like that at all.
