I always love to see a woman who is into my hobby! I go to star parties and it is about 80% men. The 20% who are women usually just came along with their husband/BF but don't have any interest in Astronomy. I've never quite understood this because I find the night sky to be a thing of beauty, and why can't women appreciate natural beauty as much as a man?
your last sentence is word-for-word what I answer to people when they say it's surprising I'm into astro as a woman. I don't think there's anything gender related about the love of nature, but if anything, surely "pretty stars" would be feminine, wouldn't they?
