Why is androgyny accepted in music but less so everywhere else?

Asked by Simone_De_Beauvoir (39052points) June 22nd, 2010

Off the top of my head I can think of 5 musicians who, in their careers, have played with gender expressions and androgyny that are/were also popular: David Bowie, Boy George, Prince, Brian Molko and Annie Lennox, of course. Is music as a field more open to gender ‘transgressions’ than any other field because of its fantastical nature, its pushing reality or is it something else?
