"Female-Fronted" isn't a genre

I've had this argument - maybe discussion is the more diplomatic term? - on many occasions on social media and in real life. At one point, I used to use the term religiously to describe any band fronted by a lass - Be it in my reviews, when promoting my gigs and so forth. However, as I discovered more and more bands fronted by women, I began to think maybe it's time to stop using the phrase "female-fronted" as women in metal aren't as rare of occurrence as I had originally thought, although the number of female musicians is still vastly outweighed by male musicians.

Earlier tonight, just after watching the first episode of the new Game of Thrones season, a friend linked me to a Blabbermouth article which basically quotes Floor (ReVamp, Nightwish vocalist) saying that it's time to stop using the term "female-fronted".

I personally salute Floor for those comments. The term is over-used and outdated. How can bands such as Epica, Arch Enemy, Huntress and Benedictum, Paramore and so on, all be apart of the "female-fronted" genre when they each sound completely different to one another? A dictionary definition describes the word genre as meaning:

a class or category of artistic endeavor having a particular form,content, technique, or the like:
the genre of epic poetry; the genre of symphonic music.

I'm pretty sure that Arch Enemy and Epica don't have the same particular form or technique - one being death metal, the other being symphonic metal.

The "female-fronted" tag, in my opinion, makes the bands sound as if they're going to be a gimmick. More and more women are becoming musicians - not just vocalists, but drummers, guitarists, bassists and more as well. But does it really matter what sex the members of the band are? I'd sooner listen to a band for their music than whether their members have a pair of balls or a pair of tits. If you want to support women in metal, that's cool but try not bring their gender into it. Enjoy the music, not the amount of pairs of tits that will be on stage.

Hopefully, with a vocalist as well known and as established as Floor Jansen stating that it's time to get over using the "female-fronted" tag, more people will take heed.
