By and large, the tone and tenor of the hate mail that women received was far more violent and personal and made many references to killing them/harming their families.
So yeah, I'm not all that surprised that the FBI was called because Natalie Maines received a death threat that detailed the hows, whens, and wheres of how she would be killed at a concert in Dallas. Fear is a powerful deterrent. I'm just glad that they weren't silenced.

And you have no proof of that at all.
There are a ton of controversial female entertainers that are not put in their place.
I love how this goes from "People against freedom of speech hate them" to "People against non-country music hate them" to "People against women hate them".
How many excuses can people find for them just plain sucking?
