I think the poster is more saying men come in and make liking the music a competition, which from my experience is a very real thing. I have absolutely run into people the poster is describing, and unfortunately was friends with people like that for awhile. It wasn't "liking music too much"; they would act superior about music and tried to lay down what was "good" music to play/listen to. It is an incredibly narrow minded view and it is even worse when they are competitive about it.
- oh_sigh 7y agoHow does one subset of an audience viewing something as a competition affect other subsets of the audience? Has any woman ever said "Boy, I wish I could like show tunes more, but there are just too many men who view Norwegian speed metal as the only real music"
- dnhz 7y agoThe original example was not listening to music but audiophilia. The segment of music listeners that buy super-oxygen-free cables, tube amps, and expensive speakers seems to be heavily male-skewed.
- oh_sigh 7y agoIs there any evidence that women are being turned away from music in general or even audiophilia because of this?
