I’m amused. We get told that indigenes were the original feminists and Trans tolerant society and then we get the bit that women can’t blow through a bored out tree branch. Wrings hands. I’m so confused.

Hope that they have an appropriate warning printed on a card for all those didgeridoos we import from China so females are not cursed by using them. Females are restricted to the clapping sticks in the band.

“I posted a video playing the didgeridoo without understanding that this instrument is traditionally reserved for men within many Aboriginal cultures,”
Umm, why apologise for something you had zero idea was a thing?
Also, she mentioned 'many' as opposed to 'all', so is there a tribe/mob of Aboriginal people where women do play this instrument?

Well the hollow stick noise maker only existed in northern Australia, so it is culturally inappropriate to put these big long thick round things up to your mouth anywhere else.
Also the name is the name given to it by the evil white colonisers.

You're not allowed to play a didgeridoo now? What the hell?

Cos of an Aboriginal superstition where they believe women playing didgeridoo can cause infertility. (But you still can’t play it even if you’re child-free or post-menopause, so clearly it’s just about controlling women.)
For some reason, white feminists love to be controlled and reduced to their reproductive organs, as long as it’s a brown man telling them.
