Audiophile demographics?


Why are there a disproportional number of male audiophiles?
Not sure if this is a silly question, but speaking for myself, I have never met a female audiophile.
I am sure they exist, but their scarcity begs the question as to why.
Is it merely that men have more of the "mine is bigger than yours" mentality, do men love gadgets and tools or is it something more sinister?

it has been my long-term observation, that women who are really into music, seem to have some kind of cognitive compensator that fills in the missing bits/corrects the imbalances when listening to most consumer-grade gear, hence they lack the driving need for actual high-end equipment.
