If I'm honest I imagine that they would say exactly the same thing in public. They wouldn't have a choice, they'd get buried under a mountain of accusations of sexism if they said anything otherwise. What I find odd about this is that I don't think any male metallers ever complained about being compared in the sense that they thought they were being 'turned against each other' like they were all fighting something. Their complaints would probably be something to the effect of:
'Why on earth are you comparing Dan Swano to Jonas Renske and Les Claypool? That's not just comparing apples and oranges, that's like comparing apples to doorknobs to the moon. It's a pointless comparison, and I'm guessing the only reason they're doing it is for people who don't know shit about metal.' Incidentally, I imagine most female metal musicians have a similar opinion.
I also do not like the way they frame their malcontent; as if the industry is somehow attempting to use divide-and-rule strategy on women in general. I am reminded of Julius Nyerere's writing on the benefits of the one-party state and the inherent 'injustice' in a multi-party system with legislative debate when I hear things like this. The use of solidarity language bothers me in general and particularly in this context.
EDIT: True story, I'm listening to them just now and they're not awful in my opinion -just banally simple- except for the disgustingly bad vocals. The two women do the vocals. The guys do all of the instruments.
