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?

So, I became attracted to my wife for several reasons. Of course physical attraction was important but other factors contributed.

One of them is that I was amazed at the different point of view she had compared to mine. She looks at things differently, see’s beauty in things that I would have ignored and is much more emotional.

My stereo system? She has absolutely no interest in it. She also has ZERO interest in visiting Audio stores / shows. Actually, I have met only a few woman that do! I do see a few women at some shows but they look like they would rather be somewhere else. I wonder why?

Is there a difference in male /female? Of course! Enjoy it!

The differences ultimately are to compliment each other's. Yin and Yang.

You guys are all missing the point. Testpilot has burst my bubble. Bigfoot doesn’t exist? I had a docuseries with discovery channel to search for Bigfoot all set up, and now it’s gone. Someone had to be pretty bored to start this thread lol
