But the rules aren't just for the penii. The article talks about how they made the rule "for everyone's protection" (I can just imagine that in reassuring, unctuous tones)--there had been girls who'd sung tenor and supposedly were singing too low and hurting their voices.
I used to sing tenor. I liked it because I could actually sing some harmony, as opposed to getting stuck with melody the whole time. (I love being a soprano, but I'm an excellent sight-reader and love to sing harmony.)
I swear to God, Texas is like another country. They enforce gender stereotypes so rigidly, it's like Saudi Arabia with cows. Did you know that when Janis Joplin went to UT, she was voted by some fraternity "ugliest man on campus"? That's the kind of mentality that prevails.
