I've read this thread I thought I'd add my cents worth. The way I see it we are all odd people out. It is still a world where being interested in a hobby like Astronomy puts you in a small minority, whether you’re a women or a man. We teach our children cultural stereotypes, this is changing slowly. To me the question isn't just why don't we see more women it's why don't we see more people. Evolution may have given men and women different roles in our native habit, but last I checked most of us live in cities and wear cloths. Our brains give us the ability to break out of our instinctive behaviours. The wonders of modern science and the natural world would keep myself and my wife interested in our hobbies for 10 life times. The mindless crap that most people are into leaves both of us shaking our heads ........
Was I ranting then  sorry
