Agh... So... The song "A Girl in a Country Song." I just have to give my opinion.

I partially agree with the song but at the same time it just eats at my brain like parasites.

I'm gonna say, I don't think country music is sexist. I don't. I never have. It never really hasn't. It's been a genre that has had amazing female singers, many who are still groundbreaking today.

But I will say 13-14 is the dark ages of the genre not because of "the sexism" but because music companies are trying the same formula they used on pop a couple of years ago.

Country operates on different standards and comes from a different time and place, and what the companies are doing to the song writers and the artist for the most part is just plane asinine.

And unfortunately, since country is a more male dominate singer wise (and has a larger canvass of women then men), it's coming out very very very badly.

Most of the older female country singers have retired or gone on hiatus.

Reba said shell eventually return.

Martina and Faith are making a return, and we have up comers like Cassidy Pope, and Kacey Musgraves.

And we got the Band Perry, and Lady A who have female lead singers. And Little Big Town who is a mix.

I don't really blame the guys, the reason why there's so much "bro songs" is because everyone- and a lot of women- eat this shit up and wet their panties over it. So of course the big dogs would give more songs like those to the guys, who probably have little choice over everything they cut (because the music industry isn't about individuality).

I think artists like Cassidy, Kacey, Kaylee Rutland, and Dustin Lynch will save the genre because they basically give two middle fingers to the industry and sing what they want, and returning to Country's routes and habit of being controversial.
