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.

Amazing how some of these responses boil down to nothing more than, "too bad, grow thicker skin, I'm not gonna change or make any effort to accommodate you, It's your perception which is wrong, etc."

All of that is just validation of how immutably primitive some can be. It also brings out other, associated realms of like thinking (politics) and conflates the two.

This is like going into a therapy session with the intent of telling off the therapist. You go, dudes.

All the best,

@nonoise Now why did you have to bring up therapy? For some of those on Audiogon, they tried therapy in the attempt to reconcile the issues with their first four marriages, so, apparently therapy just doesn't work! ;-) 


I will make the same effort to accommodate a women as I would a man. How could a woman expect more? Anything else is patronizing and true chauvinism. Because there is no universal female experience, everything is individual perception and as such can only addressed individually. Same applies for all the other so-called "systemics". By telling someone what to expect you can influence the expectation.

If by referring to me as a primitive you imply a desire to go back to the days of open discourse, lack of cancel-culture, teachers that dont socially indoctrinate, open college forums, willingness to embrace our actual history, rejection of societal androgenization, recognition/reward, etc then I am definitely a primitive and I wear this badge proudly. 

What do you suggest we do to increase female participation? 
Simple really, women just aren't as obsessed.Women I've known, Women I've been with love listening to music. Their just not as anal retentive as Men. Their not going to lose sleep over it.
