I'm not looking at the poll because it's not my type of music, but just taking your numbers I am astonished by the scale of the contrast with classical music, where the soprano voice is head and shoulders celebrated above any other and always has been. This actually makes me wonder if there is at least some component of musical attributes involved. Possibly related to the different levels of contrast within the types of instrumental accompaniment and vocal techniques used?

But anyway, if you want some relief from male dominated singing, turn to classical where the sops get all the best tunes. (I speak as a bitter alto.)

Not that there isn't huge glaring sexism within classical music because there is - Vienna Philharmonic anyone?* - but it clearly wins on this count.
