While helping my son with his music assignment, I came across some interesting sexist language
A Youtube video described switching between major and minor chords as "both genders" and it bugged me.I mean, yes, one could go on to argue that seventh chords show there are more than two genders.
What got under my skin is the idea that one gender would be major and another minor, as it infers one is superior somehow.
I know the differences between them depend on where you start and that G major is E minor, so there isn't much difference really.
But I don't find thinking of chords as genders helpful, since it adds a level of complex associations that ultimately raise increasing numbers of questions.
