My wife tried it a couple of times — and we have a daughter. So ………… But then none of my didges were made in Oz. Maybe that’s it ;) Cheers! ^^ I play didge and it’s a very cool, very relaxing instrument.

The fact that she didn't wear a Hijab probably "offended" some really traditional muslim guy, too. When did our so-called "civilization" come to the decision that we've got to pander to every kind of repressive idiocy, simply because it happens to be part of somebody's "culture". Doesn't this guy understand that ethnic prejudice against darker-skinned people tends to be part of a lot of White people's "culture"? Or how about lower-caste people in India? They had institutionalized oppression for thousands of years, all as part of their "culture". The "we're offended because it defiles our culture" argument has exactly ONE valid answer: fuck you. Hell, this should've sparked a flurry of videos of women playing the damn thing, just to tweak this asshole's sensibilities. Or are we now going to scrap the vaunted notions about "basic human rights" just because somebody's "culture" might be offended? I suggest that women begin playing the digeridoo en masse. If this asshole is right, the rise in "barren-ness" could be a good fix for the population problem as well. :) What next?
