Clearly, all-girl rock bands are discriminatory insofar as they don't hold
open, blind auditions, as are all-boy, all-Jewish, and all-WASP bands.
Very few rock bands go through an open, blind audition process.  The
question for debate is, as far as I'm concerned, should they receive
public money? I understand that almost all of them don't.
