This is a good point - women in rock are often decoration, or at least masculine in their femininity. I know people hate le Tigre, but I really admire how they don't perpetuate instruments or 'musicality'. Same with Chicks on Speed, who make no apologies for liking fashion (and why not?).
A lot of electronic music is still a sausage-fest, mind you. Autechre patch-fetishes are nearly worse than a million-paged thread about effect pedals.
