Is it normal that female artists don't write their own music as often?

I've noticed that, generally speaking, female artists/musicians are less likely than male musicians to write their own songs, and most people who write the songs for these female artists are male. How come that is?

    Some people have the voice for music, but not the knowledge. There's plenty of men who don't write their own stuff as well.

    • Yeah, but still, why are 85% of songwriters male when there is almost a 50/50 ratio of male to female musicians on the radio?

      so does that mean they use ghost writers?

  • Not true though maybe among the mainstream artists is is because they have less soul for what they do. They are just marketed to be a certain way and they are given songs which suits that image and caters to the audience they are being marketed towards.
    There's loads of female fronted bands in which the woman writes her own songs.

      For sure. Most of the people who are super famous for a couple years are just being paid to do what their record label tells them to. They don’t get a choice once they sign a contract.

    Few singers write their own songs. Most sing songs written by others.

    Because men are generally more creative than women are. That's why men dominate all artistic fields.

          Ive always thought my wife was literally designed by god to be a good assistant or manager. She writes everything down keeps up with all dates and bills and all sorts of little things like that.
