Tension-release in HARMONY, not in all ways. And he didn't abandon it completely anyway, he just made it easier to ignore it if you wanted to.
and hatred of his music seems to come equally from males and females, so I don't see how you can say it's a gender issue.
Oh, his fans tend to be men more than women. Defining something by who hates it is kind of putting the cart before the horse, anyway.
And any gender issue would only be a tendency, not a rule. Women are not a homogenous group any more than men are.
