It is interesting to notice these days, at gatherings of families or adults, the natural tendency of women, men and chlidren to gather with their own. Women love to share, talk and keep an eye on the little ones. Men gather to share experiences and such. Children gather to play. Not meaning to sound old fashioned or close-minded, but unless there is a sexual or some career-oriented purpose, men and women don't usually gather at such activities after all the greetings have been said. It would seem that behavior shows what is natural (as in how God made things to be).
With men in ancient times probably more involved in the protection and defense of the family/tribe or in the expansion /conquest of the land, women would be more apt to develop the music based rituals for a variety of reasons. Since I dont believe women were involved in the actual "fighting" activities, it would only make sense that they would contribute to or more likely be the driving force behind those celebratory (be it a conquest, a birth, a death, etc) rituals.
We all should have a "place" in society where we feel comfortable and "fit". Unfortunately, this modern day society is so twisted and mangled that finding that "place" is nigh impossible because nothing in this society is natural.
