Whatever the answer is, I don't think it's any thing to do with hi-fi in particular.
I tend to find women aren't as prevalent in gear-based discussion in general.
You don't get many women in the TV forums (which I appreciate is close to home), or cars, or coffee machines.
In areas where women tend to buy/choose/use more kit than men (and I'm not being sexist here and saying this is how it should be, just how it appears to be), there aren't similar communities for other domestic appliances, be it hoovers, washing machines, or ovens. And BTW, I do all the cooking in our house.
If it were just about what you spend a significant amount of your time doing, there should be versions of ASR for dishwashers. And there aren't.
But those are chores. What about 'hobbies'?
I don't think women have as many hobbies. Seriously, I like hi-fi, AV, cooking, wine, whilst SWMBO likes...erm...gardening. A bit.
Sorry, that's my own, poor contribution.
