Why do almost all women today hate home audio?



Why do almost all (99%) of women never seriously, sit, and listen to home audio through even one album?

I knew many, many women that listened, and had there own stereos, in the late 60's and 70's.

They even had big record collections, and some even had real-to-real tape recorders.

Why did they disappear?

What changed?

The title of this post is so stupid, lame, embarrassing I wonder why anyone would comment on it. 

And yet I just did too.

Chat GPT cracked, the 2023 way to ask the same question as this thread title I guess.

> why are there more men in technology business as worker or customer?
 
There are several factors that contribute to the higher representation of men in the technology industry, both as workers and customers. One reason is historical and cultural biases that have traditionally discouraged girls and women from pursuing careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields. Another factor is societal expectations and gender roles that may lead men to be more interested in technology and gadgets.
 

Additionally, there may be differences in cognitive and personality traits between men and women that can influence their preferences for certain types of work or hobbies. For example, studies have suggested that men tend to be more interested in systems and abstract thinking, while women tend to be more interested in social interaction and practical applications.

It’s important to note that these differences are not absolute and can vary greatly between individuals. It’s also important to actively work towards creating a more inclusive and diverse tech industry to ensure that everyone has equal opportunities to participate and succeed

 

> what are the studies that have suggested that men tend to be more interested in systems and abstract thinking, while women tend to be more interested in social interaction and practical applications?

It is important to note that there is significant debate and controversy around the idea that there are inherent gender differences in interests and abilities. However, there have been some studies that have suggested that there are differences in the interests of men and women, including in relation to technology and abstract thinking.

For example, one study conducted by Simon Baron-Cohen, a professor of psychology and psychiatry at the University of Cambridge, found that on average, men tend to score higher on tests of systemizing (understanding and analyzing systems) while women tend to score higher on tests of empathizing (understanding and responding to the emotions of others). This has been cited as evidence that men may be more interested in technology and systems, while women may be more interested in social interaction.

However, it is important to note that these findings are not universally accepted, and many argue that gender differences in interests and abilities are largely the result of socialization and cultural factors, rather than biological differences.

 

> what are the facts and numbers that shows that there are more men in technology business as workers or customers?

According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, men make up a larger percentage of workers in computer and mathematical occupations. In 2020, men accounted for 73.2% of computer and information systems managers, 76.3% of computer network architects, and 77.7% of software developers. In addition, a 2019 study by the National Center for Women & Information Technology found that women held only 26% of professional computing occupations in the U.S.

As for customers, a 2017 survey by the Consumer Technology Association found that men were more likely than women to own a variety of tech devices, including smartphones, laptops, and virtual reality headsets. Men also reported spending more money on tech products overall. However, the gap has been narrowing in recent years, as more women enter the technology workforce and become tech consumers.

 

> why obsession for equipment from audiophile can generate tension in a family or couple?

The obsession for audio equipment from audiophiles can generate tension in a family or couple for several reasons. Firstly, audiophiles may spend a significant amount of money on their equipment, which can cause financial strain or disagreements with their partner.

Secondly, their intense focus on audio quality and technical specifications may lead to them spending a lot of time and attention on their equipment, neglecting other aspects of their relationship or responsibilities. This can result in feelings of neglect or resentment from their partner.

Additionally, audiophiles may prioritize their hobby over spending time with their partner or participating in shared activities, which can lead to feelings of isolation or frustration.

Finally, their obsession with audio quality may lead to disagreements or arguments over the perceived quality of music or sound, causing further tension in the relationship.

 

I wish I had a snarky answer for you. I have had more than one piece of equipment blown or broken by drunk dates or well meaning daughters to really know what to say.

1. They listen to music and not the equipment.

2. JBL Bluetooth speaker does it job for $200

3. Dont want clunky items in the house

4. Go back to no. 1
