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?

A "wife" can be either male/female and/or of the third sex, et cetera...

Only once was a piece of equipment not WAF ready 39 years ago.  The Acoustat X speakers with black grill, three angled panels, 4'+ high in a light pine exterior trim looked like "coffins."   The amps blew and after a year, I sold them.  They had virtually no vertical sound over 4' high and were ugly.  Replaced with Acoustat 2+2s.  
I can’t decide if WAF is sexist because it means its a woman’s job to have good taste, or because its sexist to assume the wife is a woman.
