I've been in four bands with female vocalists, and three of them refused to even consider the idea of a female guitarist or bassist joining the band. I still can't figure that one out in any way that makes sense to me.

Football is rubbish.
Your vocals are "enthusiastic". Anyone could pick up a guitar and make a load of noises if they had a bit of enthusiasm. Lessons or ability are optional. But you'd be unlikely to get anywhere near a guitarist slot in a band if you only had enthusiasm, given the level of competition for guitaring slots. There's less competition for being the vocalist.
I might be generalising - indeed, I most definitely am generalising - but I've always thought of "singing lessons" as something you needed if you wanted to sing in the choir (going back to schooldays there). Singing in the choir was never something that the cool kids did. Whereas playing guitar - even if only with enthusiasm - was always a few notches up the cool scale.
I'm sitting here today having had more singing lessons in the last 3 months than I've had guitar lessons, ever. The improvement has been ridiculous - just from learning a few basic concepts and doing some relatively simple exercises. Clearly, I'm no longer cool, but that's got little to do with the singing lessons.
I wonder how many other many male "vocalists" have similarly swerved the singing lessons and taken the cool points and hence are now relying on their enthusiasm to get by?
(Ironically - given how they turned out - it was the jam sessions that prompted me to take up the singing lessons - so that I could make some voice noises that didn't let down the rest of the band. But I decided to carry on with the lessons anyway!).
FWIW Our singer kicks ass and is a bloke.
I can’t sing for shit btw and I really admire those that can.
I think it is more of a male thing than a female thing too. Not exclusively male/female, but there seem to be fewer women around who feel the need to be the biggest/loudest/flashiest animal in the pack.
I’m a fan of the male voice - I could just about tolerate a female fronted pub band for a night but with some notable exceptions like PJ Harvey and Nadine Shah I rarely listen to female artists.
