Yes, because being a gay man whose sexuality is questioned is a massive obstacle to success.
Anyway, Iβd say another main component of the discussion too is who the audiences of these genres are. Pop music tends to target girls and women (and gays too of course) as the primary audience. This in itself, I believe, also leans into the genre to be taken as less credible. Think of any genre that doesnβt primarily target men, particularly straight white ones. They tend to have had challenges being accepted creativity and being considered credible as far as talent and ability goes. So while male artists who do female-target music will often not have to do as much as women, they will still have their talents and musicianship questioned on the basis that what theyβre doing isnβt as credible as if it was if they were doing music that targeted straight, white males.

Men don't make it easy to like them when the biggest male pop acts are Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber

Well... I'm just going to quote all your post to avoid any edit from you. Seems like female artists get more favoritism on the pulse forum than male artists. For example, Britney Spears and Elton John recorded a duet of the song Hold Me Closer which debuted in the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 today. Most posters are congratulating Britney but are not congratulating or even mentioning Elton John. Why? Another example, Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes recorded a duet Senorita 3 years ago which hit # 1 on the Hot 100 but yet most of the posts mentioned Camila but not much was said about Shawn. Why? So why do people on this forum seem to give mote favoritism to the female artists over the male artist especially when there's a duet? I'm wondering why are you asking this when you actually did the same three years ago when you didn't congratule or even mentioned Shawn Mendes when "Señorita" reached atop the Hot 100. I mean, that song wouldn't have happened without his involvement too. Congrats to Camila for her 2nd #1 on The Hot 100!!!! Not Juan carrying! Also, I feel it's a...balance nowadays? Harry has been killing, Elton, Biebz, Future, Drake, Ed.. Then you have the slew of women who just dominated with thier offerings(Nicki, Lizzo, Beyoncè, Britney,Latto, Doja)
