Lack of Female Representation

@audition__audio OK then. I will try.

One of the many ways that the Audiogon community can welcome females into the audio discussions would be to leave the off color, distateful commentary out every discussion. Ladies and gentlemen discussing audio topics like ladies and gentlemen would be a nice aspiration.

 I apologise unreservedly, my comment was meant as an admonishment but qualifies as off-colour.

Almost all the Girls that I have talked to that  were assaulted,  were assaulted by one of these "Allies". Make of that  what you  want.....but it's one of my lived experiences. 
Sneaky men, constantly preaching is a huge red flag. 

“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.”

Facebook. Talk about wasting time. 

Facebook. Talk about wasting time.

Yes and no - user dependent.  Could make the same argument about Audiogon.  In her case, family is emotionally close but physically all over the country, sharing pictures, new babies, planning trips and vacations together, and connecting/communicating in a manner not possible before the introduction of the technology.  Efficient to communicate with 4, 5, or 6 others at the same time.  My friends are geographically closer so I mainly use it for information - bike trail conditions, etc., but I do enjoy the family photos.
