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?

My wife is not an audiophile but she enjoys most music except rap. She is not into the technical aspects of the hobby. I just got back into it in the last year after a 25 year hiatus. I recently bought a turntable and started purchasing some of the vinyl I trade those many years ago. Now what my wife is really into is sports and much more than I am. She grew up a Rangers baseball fan. Yes she is probably smarter than me. She is a prolific reader and spent 40 years in radiology. But I am a lucky guy to have her if I might say so....!
