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.

@nonoise Now why did you have to bring up therapy? For some of those on Audiogon, they tried therapy in the attempt to reconcile the issues with their first four marriages, so, apparently therapy just doesn't work! ;-)
My bad.


Amazing how some of these responses boil down to nothing more than, "too bad, grow thicker skin, I'm not gonna change or make any effort to accommodate you, It's your perception which is wrong, etc."

All of that is just validation of how immutably primitive some can be. It also brings out other, associated realms of like thinking (politics) and conflates the two.

This is like going into a therapy session with the intent of telling off the therapist. You go, dudes.

Depends on the panel and the experts who participate, which is why you'd need as broad a consensus as possible, staying within sane constraints.

audition_audio, 
All I'm asking for is representative balance. Men have just as important things to say about women's issues as women do about men's issues. 
To stack things so as to eliminate other POVs and the groups directly affected is a joke and will achieve nothing and ensure that nothing is accomplished that would benefit the wrongly affected.

This is working out like one of those congressional hearings on women's rights and health issues using an all male panel, backed by all male "experts."

The irony abounds.......

Coming back to this thread and reading it to the end further convinces me that it was a real misogynist who had my 1st post removed.

Anyone remember Elizabeth and the crap she went through here on A'gon. Sometimes her gender was called into question once anyone who argued with her started to lose an argument and long after she left. 
She seemed to be the go to when someone had a grudge.
Women.........

So sexism is a part of this hobby.
There was nothing offensive in my post and yet some knuckle dragger took exception to it. Pitiful. Keep on talking about how they do the cooking and think, see and hear differently so that they can be pigeonholed like it's always been done.
