Where the girls are

There’s an old exercise in logic that goes a little something like this: Imagine you flip a coin 100 times in a row and on each one of those flips the coin turns up heads. What are the odds that the coin will land on heads on the one hundred and first flip?

The logical answer is 50%, but our instinct takes over and we look for the reason why it came up heads 100 times in a row and wager that it will be heads again. Is the coin heavier on one side? Is it a two-headed coin? Is it rigged in some other way?

So, when we go out to watch live music in Texas and see that the audience is evenly split between male and female, when we look at who is buying Texas music and see that it’s evenly split between male and female, and when we look at the people working in the Texas music industry and see that even there, if not quite equally split, women are well represented, we can’t help but look up at the stages of Texas’s dancehalls and honky-tonks and wonder where the female artists are.
