Singer Kate Nash wants you to know that “females of all description” isn’t a music genre

Singer/songwriter Kate Nash was perusing the aisles of a record store when she came across the most sexist sales label. Directly in front of  the “Reggae / Tamla / Rap etc.” section was “Females of all description,” because…duh.

And immediately following this observation, Kate tweeted in frustration, “This kinda shit drives me insane,” according to the HuffPost.

This kinda shit drives me insane. The genre 'females of all description' is not a music genre. It's sexist pic.twitter.com/3u0FGCQIbM

Kate’s frustration was also felt amongst her fans, and they tweeted to show a bit of support.

when people ask me what kind of music I play, I usually say "females of all description" and then they know exactly what I mean.

We’re so proud of Kate for calling out the record store’s simplemindedness, and for continuing the discussion of how women are treated differently in entertainment than men.

There would never be a "males of all description" section. Because the rest of the shop and all other music genres are considered male

It's a reminder to me that most ppl don't even know they are sexist. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Female is not a genre

Reducing the groundbreaking work of women in entertainment to one, simple categorization is not only disrespectful, but it’s also extremely problematic.

Don't categorize my sex #femalesofalldescription

And now we’re curious to know what other outrageous labels record stores use to categorize genres or artists. Because, you know…our favorite genre of music is “females of all description” too.

Here for you, Kate!
