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.

Maybe 25% of Audiogon posters are women? How would anyone know based on on the non-gender-revealing screen names typically in use here?  You never know.....

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.........

All the best,

Who cares how many women are in this hobby? I doubt it is due to any other factor than the hobby itself and if it is should we or the hobby change to accommodate? Sameness with be the death of us all and is an abominable concept.

I understand but they are there in the hobby but they are usually not outspoken about it and a lot of women do not have the time or make the time to sit down and listen as much as men do but i have met a few of them over the years and they recognize good sound right away.
