nice one Angie! and you do wire transfers! welcome. c.

The question of why women are not into this stuff is one that many ask. They just aren’t.

I’ve known female electronic engineers. They were quite competent, but if something didn’t pertain to their job or to some specific purpose they had to accomplish, they were not particularly interested. That’s the province of nerds, who are almost all male.

Vive le difference.

Ha. Thanks for your consideration of us non-Duderinos, Chris. (And thanks for the fascinating ongoing history lessons!)

My experience (having worked with a number of audio enthusiasts who are women) has been that acknowledging the possibility that they might exist (or, at least, not assuming that they don’t exist) goes a long way toward making them feel welcomed. (And also avoiding the word “lady” which some consider derogatory.)

ahh got it. via J Lebowski / IE ‘not a term anyone would self-apply’

will keep this in mind

Read on and learn, dudes (VIA is there a lady? Do any women read this nonsense? if so, pls speak up thanks).

Some people read this who don’t respond to the hail “dudes”. Suggestions: “people”, “readers”, “audio history enthusiasts”, “y’all”.
