General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Rather sexist remark if you ask me.

If anything perhaps women are more emotionally attached to music. Perhaps men might be more analytical.

Have you even been to a single woman's home or apartment and not seen a collection of their favorite music and a stereo to play it on? Even if it is only a $400 mini-system I guarantee they enjoy music on it, emotionally.

The barriers that kept women out of high-end audio (well my definition not yours) are slowing coming down. But it is the attitude of some males that I believe keeps females away.

Back in the 1970s-1980s and to a lesser degree in the 1990s when I walked into a stereo store, salesmen never approached me. This was great when I was just looking around but harder when I was actually trying to find someone to purchase from. Nowadays audio salesmen approach both men and women.

Many audio magazines still have a male chauvinist attitude even today.
