.....all of these politically correct answers.
Yall know d@mn well, that if your son wanted to play a clarinet/flute, you would convince him NOT to play it, but convince him to play a brass or drum instrument.
Yea...back in the day when marching bands, jazz bands, orchestras, etc. were male dominated; men played clarinets, flutes, and so forth. That was then, times have changed now, and instruments like a clarinet or flute have become to be gender based so-ta-speak. Now ain sayin thats right, and it shouldn matter, but society fucc'd up now; everything has stereotypes and perceptions. When you see a male clarinet/flute player now-a-days, 98% of the times heen "right"; yall know that, so stop frontin. Yea...there are a few "hard" cores that get down; but it aint enough of'em to offset the perception of a male clarinet/flute player. Dont know about yall, but the first thing that come to my mind when I see one is, "He gay?"....and surely word is, he is, and have tendacies LOL!
Unn Unn...call me ignorant, I'own care! My son AINT playin no clarinet or flute; bump that.
