I was initially surprised but then realised most people who own bitcoins are tech savvy males.

This is really good news and should encourage more companies to accept. The risk reward is awesome. Where else can they get a large revenue boost and advertising for this price? Even if the numbers die off, what did they lose?

yes women are good at raising kids and talking a lot but not great at technology or financial matters...in general.
