Lack of Female Representation

Did you ever think that sgreg was being deliberately provocative to get the sensitive among us upset? Good on you if you were joking. If not then I think it may be time to revaluate your relationship. Just sayin!

sgreg1,
You can complain a bout her all that you want, but YOU chose her and married her.

I have to say that my wife turned out to not be the typical woman. I don't mean the term "typical woman" in any derogatory way.

She knows how to drive a tractor, use a chainsaw (which scares the crap out of me quite honestly), is a writer, and a lover of music. Just about every night we sit together in our listening room and listen to vinyl together. She appreciates the improvements that I make to our system and gives me very honest and specific critiques.

I do save money to spend on our system. I have an allowance. I ordered a Technics 1200g a couple of months back and after explaining why I picked that specific table, she was cool with it. She understands my reasoning (or at least nods her head.... I think of her chainsaw abilities at times) and realizes that I am trying to build my retirement system. She gets that. She also enjoys the end result. I don't expect her to know brand details and spec sheets. That is my thing. Hers is the enjoyment of the end product. I would say that at this point, she is as close to being an audiophile as I could hope for.

At events that I like to go to (hamfest events) she is right there beside me digging through boxes looking for oil filled capacitors and the like. I go to her events as well (outlander) so that I can support her in what she likes.

I would say that I lucked out with whom I married. We both value the interests of each other and respect each others views. We share many of the same interests and value what is important to one another.
As a side note, I would love to hear more from the female audiophile side of the room, not just the jaded old farts that we have running around here (yeah, I can be one myself at times). Your opinions are very welcome.

excellent post - fun to read, put smile on my face!  

@ audition__audio   Agree with you 100%. If women want to enter the  world of High Fidelity Music, they are very  welcome to do so...it's not like Hifi Stores have guards outside that turn them a way when they want to make a purchase, but the insinuation that sexism has something to do with this is just a sexist opinion in of itself. 
These white Knight "Allies" are cringe as far as I am concerned, and most  women find them equally repulsive. 
Men are expected to capitulate at every turn to these overgrown children, we cannot have a community of any sort,  without  being labeled as boorish bigots.
