Lack of Female Representation


So who can explain the near lack of females in our hobby?  There are far more women discussing football than audio, by a long shot.  There are a lot more women into fixing up their cars as well.  I just can’t think of a hobby, other than ours, where representation is so close to zero.

It used to be know that men and women are different. They have different interests, motivation and priorities.

Somehow equality became corrupted by the idea of sameness. But We aren’t the same. I'm glad
I met a woman audiophile once! Back in '78 or '79 at one of the fall NYC HiFi shows. She was a rep for Polk. It was evening. We were alone in someone's exhibition room and we bonded over a discussion about audio in general as we looked over a nicely-setup Linn Sondek TT!

As a gross generalization, women like the music and personal relationships, and men like the gear and the science behind it.

Even though none of our systems is in a "dedicated" audiophile room, my wife has no interest in messing with the main system but she loves to play the garage/outdoor system, which is a simple streamer running Roon connected to a dac with integrated volume control - one remote for on/off and volume, and iPad for Roon, so it is easy to operate and she is confident using it. 

She would never consider posting on Audiogon, which she would find tedious, boring, and a waste of time, but she is way more interested in her relationships with family and friends and sharing photos and stories, in person, on the phone, or on Facebook.
I always assumed that a high percentage of the posters in audio forums were/are female.

Did I somehow get this wrong?
