Where are the female Audiophiles?

Based on my limited experience, I would guess that 98% of Audiophiles are male. But 51% of our population is female. What gives?

In this age where females and males are equally represented in Universities and in the Professions, why is this still true?

I would guess that it is a cultural thing, can't be genetic can it?
Is it different in other parts of the World?

No fair, Michael. I was about to ask her as well.

Not me. I hate fighting. I had enough of that with my last wife. She hated my stereo, however. I figured we could sell my system and just enjoy yours. I'm easy. You pick the music.

I listen to Marian McPartland every Monday night on NPR. I really love her show. She is old, but she still has that magic in her unique playing. I also like the variety of guests she has on with her.

I can't offer any genetic evidence for you, but based on my own personal experience with women I've been intimate with throughout my audiophile life, I would have to go along with Douglas' opinion. I also don't believe that it has anything to do with making a woman feel "equal".
