Alice Bag: "To be a girl in the mid-1970’s shopping for a guitar amp was an exercise in sexism that started the minute you walked through the door of the music store. Some dude would come up to you and ask, “Are you shopping for your boyfriend?” My friend, Patricia would never stand for this and quickly asserted herself as a competent bassist. I, on the other hand, have to confess that I sometimes worked these situations to get free labor. “Can you show me again how to bend my knees while you lift my amp?” Then I tried to smile sweetly, which is really hard for me because I’m not sweet, which is probably the main reason I gave up this technique. That smile must have looked fake as hell. Plus, I have the kind of face that gets blamed for things... but I digress. Patricia and I learned early on from auditioning male musicians that everyone of them thought of themselves as the next Jimi Hendrix, or another Keith Moon. While most of the women we auditioned apologized in advance for not being very good, all the men wielded their axes with a bravado that seemed second nature. Even the lamest male guitarist would talk up his skills like he was god’s gift to music, acting cocky and confident while the women routinely underplayed their experience. It wasn’t uncommon to hear guys refer to more talented female musicians as “pretty good, for a chick...” as if women were inherently inferior musicians."
