I always like Bethany Ryker ("A440/Stochastic Hit Parade") who declined the term "classical" music for her show, since much of the music she played was less than 15 years old. She liked "symphonic".

I dunno about Mozart's demographic exposure. Could be, but largely, "classical" composers depended on patrons.

The fact of the matter is that if you spend a few months comparing recordings of Shostakovich's Preludes & Fugues you will have gotten a valuable education.

Tchaikovsky's work is beautiful. It's familiar, and so it risks being trite, but those ballets are simply sublime. And I mean, if you want to enlist folks to ally with LGBTQ+, then you can't go wrong with Tchaikovsky.

No, classical does not "mean" male domination. Its course implicates plenty of male domination, but it is not identical with it.
