Lack of Female Representation


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.

It's just not this hobby, it's all hobbies, except those hobbies that women are more attracted to, like maybe doll collecting, etc. I race cars, motorcycles, karts, and sailboats. There are a few women in each sport but we'll never see a 50/50 mix. I don't really care about the underlying reasons, it just is.

My wife asked me to take her car in for service. She said the dealer takes advantage of me because I'm a woman. I assured her that her sex has nothing to do with it, car dealers take advantage of everyone.
