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.
Let's ask the women. Oh wait! There aren't any here. A had a friend over doing some listening one day. We were espousing the various qualities and attributes etc. My sister strolled through the room and exclaimed; "It sounds the same as my car stereo". What to say? She is educated (she's a PA), has money and is very engaging (We are playing pickleball tomorrow), yet the audio is completely lost on her. That's why there's only one chair in my sweet spot. Joe
I've been in the same home for 30 years now. Every couple years we have the septic tank pumped. Always without fail it is done by a man. Never once has a woman come out. At least with audio there are some women who are into it. Septic tank pumping, not a single one.
There's your market. What can you do to get more women interested in a career pumping septic tanks? Get on it!
