That was the fact years ago. Go PPA or any other photo conventions and you will see them predominately populated by women.

That's why they call it "chimping" when reviewing images on the camera immediately after taking them . . .

Keep digging that hole you are in. You do realize women can educate themselves and still have babies, right? LOL.
But being barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen severely limits the photo ops.... [sarcasm]

Fascinating. But you don't convincingly make the connection to "why men have continued to dominate in areas of social prominence and power, especially where a vote is involved as in politics" with, "in population and personal wealth... there is a huge lopsided advantage to the female side of the equation."
What does one have to do with the other? Where's the connection? Why do men continue to dominate in power in spite of women continuing to become more prosperous?

I'm probably not qualified to explain those things but I'll tell you what I think. I think that most of those female voters in nursing homes traditionally do not vote in big numbers which brings the ratio of male/female closer to parity. Combine that with the fact that a lot of females support men candidates, and...
The wealth accumulation by older women occurs as a result of the numbers of men who precede them in death leaving whatever accumulated wealth there is to their wives.
In spite of the imbalance of educational participation in recent years, there are still a lot more educated, successful men in the workplace than there are women so there remains many more men in upper echelon positions. On average, we will need to go many more years before the current crop of more highly educated men work their way through the system and move on to make room for some of the more recent women who have entered into competition for top jobs. It will take time for women to work their way up the ladder to parity in either numbers or income.
That's all I got.

This is just an opinion of mine but it seems like photography is populated more by men than by women, both in the professional realm and the amateur realm.
More men than women post on UHH.

That whole "It will take time for women to work their way up the ladder to parity in either numbers or income" became an issue in the post WWII Era, most specifically in the '70s. Women are still discriminated against in business. In 1974, I applied for a promotion to an account position in my electronics firm, where I had worked as a sub accountant for a couple of years, but the job went to a furniture mover who had obtained a mail-order accounting degree. I had to teach him how to do his job (while looking for another job 😁) and left a few months later.
I was discriminated against in the mid '70s (remember affirmative action?) because I am white female. Companies were falling all over themselves to hire black women.
Male dominance hasn't changed much, though. Professional women who want to be mothers still have to make that choice. The much vaunted stay-at-home dad seen on TV and movies is a myth. Too many men still see that as being emasculating. And if women with children work from home, it is unlikely they will get promotions.

There are many women shooting for Nat Geo, Fashion, Boudoir, Wedding, Food, Fine art, Journalistic, as well as many other specialties. I am sure there are many more. However, these are the ones I have followed and learned from.
When it comes to amateur, I am pretty sure that women take far mor photos with their cell phones than men. The new cell phones are more than capable of producing amazing results.

I am 77 years old and a friend sold me his camera 10 years ago. I have grown to love photographing birds. I am a novice. I treasure all the moments of quiet interaction with my camera and the birds I am lucky enough to photograph. As a younger woman there was no time for a hobby. Raising a child with my husband and working outside the home took up my free time. Most of the photographers I run into when I am out birding are men but I am seeing more and more younger women out birding with a camera and no binoculars. I love talking to these young women and listening to their passion for photography.

To me, learning the fine art of listening, is one of the most important accomplishments in a persons life. You have made some good decisions!
