• Easy access to firearms. Men are more likely to use a gun than woman though this is changing.

One of my favorite audiophile doo-dads were wooden knobs being sold as upgrades to regular device knobs. They were super special wood with all sorts of magic properties and a bargain at hundreds of bucks.
