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.
