That is very true as for listeners, male's make up a large segment of the audience. But that is not to be confused with CUSTOMERS. Women account for 70% of all sales of concert tickets, t-shirts, hats, posters, etc. So while it is great to write songs for that partying male, if they don't buy CD's, and mostly get their music from illegal downloads, no one is really doing themselves any favors catering to them.
It is why out of the 26 number one songs in country music last year, 24, were positive, up tempo made the singer look like a winner and glorified women.
