Audiophile demographics?

Why are there a disproportional number of male audiophiles?
Not sure if this is a silly question, but speaking for myself, I have never met a female audiophile.
I am sure they exist, but their scarcity begs the question as to why.
Is it merely that men have more of the "mine is bigger than yours" mentality, do men love gadgets and tools or is it something more sinister?

Most Women like to talk too much to listen to music for extended periods of time, although my brothers are the same way. We audiophiles are wired special!

I'm a female audiophile. And a female MD, when there weren't so many. I also like fast cars and fast lenses. And men. Imagine that!

My best female friend loves music maybe more than I do. Before Covid, she'd go to a music club 3 times a week. She plays guitar.

We have 'music days' often when we listen to new music (for her anyway)on my 14K system, which really sounds amazing. I sit her in 'THE' chair, where her head is located exactly where it should be. I'm excited to hear her response to my latest upgrades...
What does she say?
"I think I'll lay on the floor, it's more comfortable."
I guess she didn't even notice my new $1,200 chair....Women
