<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 8254035, member: 15588&quot;]Many dealers do a decent job of not stereotyping people, but coin culture has remained pretty &quot;male&quot; for the entire time I&#039;ve bought coins at shops and shows. I think it does turn away a lot of women from the hobby. The very few times my wife has accompanied me to coin shows, she said the atmosphere reminded her of a car repair shop. She felt alienated and out of place and afterwards said &quot;I really felt like I didn&#039;t belong there.&quot; I don&#039;t think that anyone is doing this intentionally or maliciously, but some awareness of how the hobby&#039;s overall culture affects others outside of its default demographic would probably help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
