Is Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) sexist?

Believe our addictive hobby is primarily male dominated. The technical aspects seem to appeal more to men. Or is that in and of itself sexist. There are now a few knowledgeable and astute women reviewers. I am always intrigued by the comments off the few women who identify themselves by name on the Forum. One in particular is quite long winded. I'm sure this has nothing to do with her sex. Although he/she has a name which could be male or female. I always love it when my wife comes to look at the record sleeve of the vinyl playing and rely on her opinion of the fidelity. Not to mention desire and count on her approval of new purchases. But is she also addicted? I don't think so. Does that have anything to do with being a woman. I don't think so. Does she care about the fine nuances? She says not. I would love to hear from women and anyone on this. WAF? I care a lot what things look like. HAF?

This must be the most ridiculous post on this forum. The GON now means gone as in gone to the loony bin.

WAF simply means respecting his/her viewpoint and skills re: nesting. It's not that complicated.

Without being able to think, it is more easy to cancel reality, and spell it in another way...

But ideological parrots are always parrots, the word "ideological" cannot mask the unending void of an absent thinking in an absent reality....

Alas! We now live in the world of political biology with a mathematical algorithmical" soul"...

The term WAF has been around forever or at least since All in the Family has been on tv.  Only in this current woke world of pc, 56 genders and General confusion of everyday existence are we questioning now is WAF a sexist term.

But since I mention All in the Family, could you imagine if Archie was an audiophile and had to deal with WAF issues in his living room?  What kind of gear would he own?

I'm picturing Archie with a pair of Maggies, that’s why he’s so insistent of being in his own chair.  
Sorry to hijack the thread, but the idea of Archie as an audiophile seems far more interesting and fun to discuss than if the term WAF is a sexist term.  I’m woke enough, thanks!

Everything is sexist. Breathing is sexist. A girlfriend woke me up in the middle of the night saying I was breathing "funny" like a man. I guess she woke me. Does that make me a woke man? Does that make her a sexist? Can I say man? I am a woke masculine.

Realistically, I’d prefer being sexy or her, sorry feminine, to be sexy.

My Christian name is Guy. Well that’s a sexist name. Am I supposed to change my name now?

George Orwell newspeak?

When I was a young lad I could never understand why someone would want to be a hermit or a recluse?

I’m swallowing the red pill.
