Is it reasonable to consider rock music is gendered male?

To certain extent, it’s reasonable enough to consider rock music as a gendered male. Musical instruments are associated with genders, for instance guitars are associated with males whilst pianos are associated with females, which are regarded as traditional 'feminine’. Frith and McRobbie introduced the term 'cock rock', in relation to heavy metal, which is an aggressive expression of male sexuality. Society insists women are not to be promiscuous or wild, but lady like which takes away some of their interest from playing or engaging in rock music.
People generally like music that they can relate to or can idolize the lead performer; therefore, rock is regularly seen as male gendered. It’s very hard for women to be taken seriously in rock music due to male dominated genre, however women now embrace rock music through ‘rock chick’ image dressing looks and social behaviour lifestyle which has proven to give them recognition and attention to become more involved.
