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?

Most women are not interested in audiophile gear because they are not interested, period.  
If women were interested in audio but didn't like the way men do audio, they could get together with other women and talk about audio or listen to music.  There is no one keeping them from enjoying better audio.  

Women (non-audiophile) don't have any choice in the audio world. Non-a'phile (men & women) can't hear un-natural sound of hi-fi audio and all audio system in the world sound un-natural and veiled. Listening un-natural sounds is painful to non-a'philes' ears. Alex/Wavetouch audio
