Is it reasonable to consider that rock music is gendered male?

It could be argued that rock music sticks to a trend of most rock stars being mainly male. When we think of the guitar, I tend to imagine a male playing, the guitar itself is a dominant force within rock music so it could be argued that it is indeed gendered. Mavis Bayton analysed trade magazines in 1988, 1992 and 1996 finding out that each year, features, news and photos of guitarists were overwhelmingly male. There is no logical explanation for the absence of the female guitarists. I tend to vision females playing more feminine instruments such as the piano or flute. It is not strictly true that there are no women in rock music because there are but it is dominated by the male. For example Rolling Stones magazine had no women guitarists in the top 50 of all time. I think rock music is gendered due to this reason.
