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.

So sexism is a part of this hobby.
There was nothing offensive in my post and yet some knuckle dragger took exception to it. Pitiful. Keep on talking about how they do the cooking and think, see and hear differently so that they can be pigeonholed like it's always been done.

All the best,

You guys are close. Now lets see what we have..

Ladies for the most part like the music not the gear..

Most ladies like to move around when they are listening to music.

That's right we listen they DANCE!

Me I just joined the party 50 years ago and haven't set down yet.

As for thinking the people here were a bunch of women, I didn't think that at all, I thought it was more like "girly man".  A bunch of little boys AND girls... BUT little when it comes to name calling.. LOL 

About a "FUSE"!  Might as well as committed an act of WAR...

Taking one side or the other.

I think "BREAKER", I take no side. I take MY SIDE!

Expensive cables, I love expensive cables. I just don't like paying for them.. SO I make my own. I take no side. I take MY SIDE!

Every problem I've encountered in my audiophile life has an answer, SO FAR!.. My answer.. :-)

That's right, TIME TO FEED THE CHICKENS!!!!

It's just not this hobby, it's all hobbies, except those hobbies that women are more attracted to, like maybe doll collecting, etc. I race cars, motorcycles, karts, and sailboats. There are a few women in each sport but we'll never see a 50/50 mix. I don't really care about the underlying reasons, it just is.
