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?

I don't know anybody who 'hates' home audio; most folks of any demographic, including many musicians, really don't care very much about home audio. This is a very tiny niche market. 

@robertgagnon - Happy to help provide some enlightenment, Robert - I don't get many chances to do that! 🤣

... and women vinyl reviewers, and there are a good number of those, will discuss the sound qualities of various pressings just as much as any male vinyl geek would. Some folks of any demographic who are into sound are into it more from the source point of view, like the disc, than the gear point of view. All good. 

All hi-fi audio sounds in the world hurt ears of non-audiophiles (wives and men). It is painful to them that they can’t hear more that few minutes. 

Not sure I agree with this....
