"St Vincent Designs Guitar for the Female Body"

My Facebook feed fed me this.... Ridiculousness. Verbatim... "St Vincent Designs Guitar for the Female Body".

Sexism... I'm the father of 3 daughters, and this just irks me to no end. Luckily, the top rated comment was as follows:
"Bobby OBie: The guitar was shaped for tone, not for the players body type. Truth is skinny men, fat men, tall men, short men, skinny woman, tall woman, fat woman and short woman, have all been playing guitar for the same period of time, and the presence of varying sizes of chests and stomachs had no bearing on either genders ability to play the instrument. get over it."

Annie describes the guitar as gender neutral. It does fit her form read her comments The fact is that the press picks this up and not us...but amazingly this is the first major manufacturer to have a female design a guitar.....kind of strange it took so long
bobbie and you miss the point.

Gender neutral...

If I design a guitar and call it "gender neutral", nothing is said. If a female artist designs a guitar and calls it "gender neutral", the press says "guitar designed for the female body."
