I appreciate these insights.
One thing I never could understand is getting involved in
hobbies or jobs that seem to be male dominated when that
was never my intent.
But consider the flip side of things: If a woman was designing
a line array rig, whould she have to go through the Spousal
Approval Factor to do the setup? Hanging a photo on the wall
would be much easier for hubby to handle. And here again, I'm
wagering that the hobby is some sort of an escape from whatever
is going on in relationships, else why talk about it at all?
A poll of users of this forum or full range driver forum,
Audio Asylum etc would reveal that there is a clear majority and
a clear minority of participants.
I, for one would like to give an equal amount of enthusiasm
to cooking or flower arranging and so be more in touch with
women I'd like to meet. But I don't, I have focussed on this.
And since I have to do for myself, the decor and food tend to be very
simple, if not totally mundane.
And also consider this: I think the hobby is an outlet for
frustrated musicians... it is a way to 'make music' without playing
an instrument. That's all the psychology I have to contribute today.
