I would say that the unspoken rules part ties back into this conversation from a post you made a few weeks ago.

Sadie said it best with how a lot of these points are true in any area:

    "I wish she hadn't used a gendered lens to make up these rules, because some of these tips are universal truisms."

I think that Noisey article was garbage and not worth taking too seriously, this article I agree with much more.

It's interesting, I've met Meredith and Sadie, and know a lot of other female musicians and some of the stuff they deal with is absurd. Things like arriving for soundcheck and it being assumed they're with the band but not in the band, or getting catcalled by drunk people at a show, being ignored by other bands that they're playing with, and anything in between.
