There's also some class divisions at work here. I don't think a girl from a working class home would have played the tiniest violin. University women, from university families, are intimidated by working class men. The women don't understand plumbing, construction or much else done with hands and tools. Peter Weir made a very good film about this called The Plumber. Worth watching. I saw it with several housemates, men and women while in college and they all identified with the woman and her concerns. The plumber was to be feared, then hated and finally put down by law enforcement. Just a thought.

This is commentary is why I subscribe. Thank you. Everyone needs to have affirmation. To demand “equality” at the expense of another creates an environment that will only make those on the losing end resentful. The examples are too numerous to list, but the easy example is DEI. “Let’s put DEI on the fast track for new job opportunities!” Next thing you know, calling someone a “DEI hire” is a gross pejorative. Gee, never saw that coming. /s
