Lack of Female Representation

@ozzy "Just a story"? It was still unequal 10 years ago for objectively equal work/experience. The gap has closed and in many organizations affirmative steps were taken. I hope the trend continues. In exceptional organizations, it is almost a distant memory. Almost. It wasn't that long ago that the rationalization was "the man has a family to support" which was BS then and now.

The story continues...

It’s perfect, really. It couldn’t be more obvious. A female audiophile chimes in and after more than twenty posts following hers there is only one with any kind of acknowledgment; never mind, engagement for further thoughts from her.

Welcome, theo714! Could you please elaborate on your thoughts and on some of the stated (presumed) “reasons” expressed so far? What could male audiophiles do to be more welcoming? Have you found a connection between this attitude and the stances taken on favorite audio topics such as “subjectivity vs objectivity”, obsessive tweaking, music? Or, any related things that come to mind?

Thanks, and welcome again.

This thread taught me two things. 1. Audiophiles (male) are the utmost authority on the female psyche. 2. I must not be an Audiophile ...

Because audiophile listening at home is essentially a non-social, isolated, individualistic pastime. 

However women are social animals, needing to converse, chat, hug, share, interact, etc. etc.

They just have no interest in spending so much time on a totally isolated, individualistic, non-sharing pastime.
