Quoted from PinKopf:Are we just simpletons to enjoy the mechanical bits and pieces and flashing lights, lol??
From an evolutionary standpoint, yes basically. Men see movement better, therefore have better reaction times and prefer things like sports and video games. There have been studies with newborns and infants, and they find every time that male babies prefer looking at objects, while female babies prefer looking at people/faces. Women generally don't like competition. Statistically you're less likely to see a woman in the top 25 players if the female player base is a lot smaller to begin with.
All this discussion about making things more equitable and what this nebulous "we" need to do to make women "feel safer and more included" kinda implies to me that people think that pinball will be (or should be) a 50/50 gender split. There's nothing wrong with spaces/interests that have more men OR more women in them. I don't want women getting involved in the hobby solely to meet a gender quota, nor would I want more men involved in a predominately female hobby like knitting, solely to meet a gender quota.
Quoted from ElleCayare:All of which my husband can effectively ignore.
Well, your solutions are to either start ignoring them like your husband does (not a good idea), or ask your husband to share some of that responsibility he is ignoring
