Why music/audio industry is male dominated

Why music/audio industry is male dominated

All,
What's your opinion on this?

Starting from a performer to a technician or engineer in the studio, why we see a clear male dominance there?

Is it partly because since there is too much of mixing, socialising, creating contacts and working with different types of men here, women don't find it comfortable?

Views welcome!

Most men are task oriented.

Most women are social oriented.

Teaching is very social. I work as a teacher and it is female dominated.

I used to enjoy building fences and retaining walls more than teaching because it was task oriented and you could see a definite result.(used to do landscaping) But it doesn't always pay the bills when it slows up in winter etc......

What does it say about one's IQ if one does not know who scores a higher IQ? For all of you to enjoy, a simple math quiz -

Three Roland Reps. were travelling together and needed an in-expensive place to stay for the night! (Roland travelling allowances being rather limited these days.) They pulled up to a motel with the hopes of sharing a room and asked the desk clerk if he had anything available. He replied that they were in luck, and suggested a room that they could share for $30. They each handed the clerk $10 and proceeded to their room.

Shortly after, the clerk realized that he mistakingly over-charged the Roland Reps. by $5! He immediately called the bellboy over and handed him 5 one dollar bills to return to the 3 Reps. On his way to the room, the bellboy noted that he could not evenly divide the money equally into 3, so he came up with a plan. He would give each Roland Rep. back a dollar and keep 2 for himself, which he did!

Now each Roland Rep ended up paying 9 dollars a piece for the room, and the bellboy kept 2 dollars for himself!

3 times 9 = 27 + the 2 dollars the bellboy kept = 29!

Where is the missing dollar?

If you change your formula to read:

3 times 9 = 27 (what they ended up paying for the room)
then subtract the $2 that the bellboy kept (from the original 30) then you end up with 25, which is the adjusted price of the room and therefore no missing dollar.

nor any need for secret agents
