BDO 4 - gender issues

The next BDO needs Patti Smith.
We had Bjork at least 1 BDO ago, but she's a little bit loony.
Actually, Sinead O'Connor would do very nicely!
Why?
Because BDO tends to reinforce sexual/gender stereo types.
We tend to get the macho men dressed in de rigeur black.
Relations are described, in general, with women as objects.
It is usually the male perspective we get from the stage.
If females perform it is either as objects or at best with ambiguity bordering on teasing (witness Lily Allen).
But if Sinead, Patti or Kate (Bush) are there in 2011, all will be forgiven.
