Is Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) sexist?


Believe our addictive hobby is primarily male dominated. The technical aspects seem to appeal more to men. Or is that in and of itself sexist. There are now a few knowledgeable and astute women reviewers. I am always intrigued by the comments off the few women who identify themselves by name on the Forum. One in particular is quite long winded. I'm sure this has nothing to do with her sex. Although he/she has a name which could be male or female. I always love it when my wife comes to look at the record sleeve of the vinyl playing and rely on her opinion of the fidelity. Not to mention desire and count on her approval of new purchases. But is she also addicted? I don't think so. Does that have anything to do with being a woman. I don't think so. Does she care about the fine nuances? She says not. I would love to hear from women and anyone on this. WAF? I care a lot what things look like. HAF?

Good Lord.
Never thought I would type this but....
Where is Geoff Kait when you need him!

Long gone. We all knew this day would come. Climbed aboard his starship and away he went. By now he is probably at warp, er, I mean Ludicrous Speed.

23k posts and poof, gone. Erased. Well, not quite. Beholdhttps://forum.audiogon.com/users/geoffkaitWill they now remove his whole posting history? If we can't mention his name that would be the next Stalinist, er I mean logical step.
I can’t decide if WAF is sexist because it means its a woman’s job to have good taste, or because its sexist to assume the wife is a woman.


Archie was the first sitcom audiophile. His chair was right in the sweet spot. Only  we never saw the system because of the camera angle.
Its not necessary to violate any rules. All you have to do is trigger some special snowflake, SJW or Karen and boom, the mods race to see how fast they can take it down. Half the people here are NPC so pretty much anything qualifies.
If it helps, I identify as a 24 year old Scarlett Johansson. Its a royal hassle. I'm on my third trip to the DMV. For some reason they just cannot get the photo to look right.
