To address this point I don't think that's really the case anymore, and may just be a sample bias of the artists that you're thinking of. I can think of a great deal of women musicians, writers, directors, visual artists who don't focus on the female experience. I don't know the proportions or ratios of females/males or women who focus on these issues and women that don't, in either arts or politics. Similarly I don't know the proportions of what issues males focus on in those fields.
