Is it reasonable to consider that rock music is generated male?

Although it’s clear large scale ‘rock’ is male dominated, it must be considered that the stereotype of rock is one of guitar solos, not vocal symphonies, and it’s generally recognised that females have tendencies to opt for vocal positions, rather than the electric guitar ‘technology’, which is branded a masculine topic anyway.
Furthermore, Frith and McRobbie, when discussing the stereotypical style of rock (heavy metal) branding it ‘cock-rock’ as music and performance was crude and aggressive, not the typified female image.
Although looking at 1980’s rock, gender becomes less relevant, as ‘gender-benders’ such as the ‘Motley Crewe’ appear, taking on female features, questioning is gender really relevant, or does rock simply appeal to males more? Artists such as Janis Joplin (renowned for being ‘one of the boys’) would disagree.
Suggesting rock-and-roll, synonym for sex (a male dominated topic), operates as a form of sexual expression and control for both genders?
