Where are the female Audiophiles?


Based on my limited experience, I would guess that 98% of Audiophiles are male. But 51% of our population is female. What gives?

In this age where females and males are equally represented in Universities and in the Professions, why is this still true?

I would guess that it is a cultural thing, can't be genetic can it?
Is it different in other parts of the World?

I hope the next president of this country is female.

This should stir things up.....

just don't elect Hillary Clinton!!
Otherwise, this is just fine with me personally. We elected Mrs. Indira Gandhi to be our Prime Minister back in 1971 when the USA couldn't even dream of having women in any sort of power let alone being the President of the country.
Hillary is not Indira. USA is not India. Nor is it Great Britain (Thatcher) or Israel (Meir). Different places, different people.

My wife was invaluable as a listener when I was auditioning speakers. She has a great set of ears. But she doesn't really care to listen to the stereo or to music much (in spite of being a musician/teacher). When she does she likes it "good" and she likes it loud.

Some musicians and/or music teachers are so oversaturated with music during the day that the last thing they want to do is listen to music.
Okay, I'll bite ... unless Hillary gets hit by a bus, I suspect the next president WILL be female.
What we can say with more probability is that if there is a female American president she will not be an audiophile!

As for the rest, most women have more sense than to torture themselves over the fact that the treble might be slightly sweeter with this interconnect, rather than just enjoying the track.
