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.

+1 @painter24 great story you shared. 
 

@simao I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m a master at quilting, decoupage, and needlepoint - so much so that I’ve become quite the rage on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and aol email accounts. 

Years ago I visited a girlfriend in Denver and took her to a hi-end audio store (don't remember the name) to share sonic bliss with her. To no avail. She glanced at the coffee table on which was a spread of magazines and remarked, "Oh, these are here to give the wives something to do." 

Spot on. 

I've been in the same home for 30 years now. Every couple years we have the septic tank pumped. Always without fail it is done by a man. Never once has a woman come out.

I've never had a male dental hygienist. 

My lady is hearing impaired so count her out.....   she does love music and totally gets my " obsession " as she calls it
