Women tend to have larger music collections than dudes (on average) and can appreciate great sound from equipment when they hear it. They are probably just wiser about economics than dudes. If you tell a female music lover+audiophile that a piece of wire+2 connectors should cost as much as a car, there is a very high probability that she would ask you to F/off, i.e., that level of dumassery is certainly the domain of the dumb dudes.
The female audiophiles in my house outnumber the dudes (wife and 2 daughters play musical instruments, have their own hifi rigs and significant music collections). Son is largely a mindless gamer dude and binge watcher of goofy sht on netflix, etc with no appreciation for music or hifi.
