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.

@ghasley Keep your responsibility to yourself, stop forcing what you think the world should be onto others. Other people are not participants in your crazy religion, so try to keep the cultiness in check when you are in public. This constant preaching and preening is nauseating....
You are not owed anything by any of us... whenever I hear grown men preach about women’s history/ Gender Studies etc, I instantly think Rapist/Molester.
I have seen many a men who advertise their virtues, scream at the top of their lungs, and then victimize the women they profess to defend.

@yuviarora

Setting aside that @ghasley obviously wouldn't be able to "force" his views on anyone even if that were his intent (it isn't), your reaction to his posts is wildly over-the-top.

reveals far more about you than your intended target, and in a decidedly unflattering light.

It is absolutely ludicrous to suggest that a member who is displaying sensitivity to a minority (women, in this instance) is somehow likely to be abusive them in real life.


Given the cantancerous and occasionally bigotted back and forth on this thread I think a moderator would do us a big favour by just shutting it down
It’s cute mr audio attempts to mansplain what’s obvious to all except those afflicted.
@audition__audio I was just sparring with you a wee bit regarding your comment “embrace our actual history”.

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.



@yuviaora Your post is just a bit over the top isn’t it? As the son of a Marine and the Godson of a Medal of Honor recipient Marine, right and wrong was hammered into me from my earliest recollection. When I say hammered, you have no idea. I had two sisters and if you pay attention, virtually every young woman has found herself in a pretty dangerous situation. There were occasions where I had to have “conversations” with young men who decided they were entitled to say or act however they wanted. They were not and they understood that clearly following those conversations. Your mention of rape is no joke, not even a little and is out of line. The very fact you typed that and chose to post it speaks volumes about your lack of or incapability of empathy for others or worse. You can fix it though if you try, which I hope you do.
