Lily Allen has taken aim at the music industry’s gender double standards.
In a new interview with perfect magazineThe singer reflected on how male and female artists are judged differently when it comes to their performances on stage.
What is discussed Oasis Frontman Liam Gallagher, 53, Allen shared: “That’s the patriarchy in action.”
“I went to see Oasis play on Sunday night and I thought it was great. I love Oasis. Noel is a fantastic songwriter and I enjoyed every minute of it.”
“But in contrast to that, I went to see Lady Gaga the next night at the O2,” he continued.
“The difference between what a woman has to put into a show to be able to exist in show business is like night and day.”
The singer went on to point out how female artists constantly have to prove themselves: “You have to justify your existence as a woman, while as a man you don’t.”
“Liam Gallagher can just sing a song and then say ‘Nice one’ and do nothing with his whole body, and people go crazy.”
“If Lady Gaga came on stage and just sang her songs and didn’t dance, people would be outraged,” he concluded.
