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?

I'm fortunate....my f/m spouse likes my hobby overall.Ā  But when it comes time to 'integrate' it into a main living area we both agree that it shouldn't need to hide, nor clash.

"Can we get some outdoor speakers?"Ā  (She gardens....)

"Can the Maggies' fabric be colored?"Ā  (Sure....the 'socks' could even be digitally printed....and why not?)

"When the tv isn't 'on' a program, can it 'slide-show' art?"Ā  (...don't see why not...beats 'basic black'....)

"Can the equipment be 'minimalized'?Ā  (Already have a plan for that...)

A bit of flexibility goes a long way....;)

Yes, as well as what passes for public education and higher education.Ā  Humanity might recover some semblance of civility.Ā  "woke" what a joke.Ā 
Iā€™ve never understood this WAF thing. She gets the living room and you get the den. Itā€™s your room to do as you want. Whereā€™s the argument in that? Stay in your room and thereā€™s no argument.Ā 
Absolutely (with respect to the first post). Itā€˜s loaded with assumptions.
