Personally I know many talented women musicians and many, many descerning female listeners; at least as many as the men I know. Generalisations about things have got the world in a lot of trouble in the past. I believe deep music to be about intuition and sensitivity; two qualities that women have in abundance. We men can only learn from these beautiful creatures.

Well, that has unfortunately being my experience. I play about 7 to 10 gigs a week and most of the people interested in jazz are guys. Especially as the music becomes more intellectual.
At least 90% in not more of the students enrolled in the Jazz program of the various universities around here are guys.
According with a little research a did on my own, talking to friends and colleagues, only about 5% to 7% of women visit musicians pages on youtube.
I wish I could agree with you, but I don't think I a generalizing.
