Not to press the point too finely, but: you clicked on the link. If you don't care, then it's maybe worth not clicking on it. Responding to things that you don't care about with "I don't care" doesn't convey any useful or interesting information to anyone else.

I, for one, thought it was interesting. I like listening to good music too, and I wonder if I would be able to listen to more good music if more women were able to break into the professional music-making industry.

Sorry, you’re right perhaps I was being too flippant. What I meant to convey is: the information itself is interesting. But I can’t get past the whole agonizing about gender thing. If I’m to be lectured about gender inequality (whatever that is), and indeed the article doesn’t press that fact explicitly but it still feels pervasive throughout, then at least do me the courtesy of answering what a single individual like myself should be compelled to DO.

Simply informing me that women don’t write many top hits, by itself, is sorta like… “Ight, and?”

But you are correct. Perhaps I’m projecting a bit in my reflection here. I guess I just wanted to article to be more actionable if it was committed to being whiny.
