Where are the female amateur astronomers?

I became more active here on Astromart this past summer and I was made aware that every time I bought, sold, or threaded, it was an interaction with a male of our species.
I am not looking for an intimate relationship and am not using Astromart as a dating service (I have a partner!) but it is striking to me that not once can I remember interacting with a female while buying or selling or talking about astronomy on Astromart.
I wish females would speak up, and share their insights into this incredible hobby. I know you must be out there, fascinated by what is swirling around us here on Earth, owning and using telescopes and attending star parties and buying and selling astronomical equipment.
Ladies, where are you? Please make yourselves known. 

Wondering if anyone has used either of the Orion Lithium Dynamos, and what they think of it?
ALSO, HAS ANYONE USED THE CELESTRON INSPIRE 100AZ 100MM F/6.6 ALT-AZ REFRACTOR? IM WONDERING IF THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD CHOICE FOR MY 10-YR-OLD GRANDSON FOR A FIRST TELESCOPE, BEING IT APPEARS EASY TO SET UP AND USE.
