This is perhaps a little old, but it is worth mentioning.  Years
ago, my family was exposed to this shit in some small degree.
One of the companies (I don't remember who) wanted to come out to
the house, but only when it was guaranteed that at least the wife
would be home.  It seems that they have a little statistic:  women
tend to spend more "discretionery income" than men.  I found this
to be true with my ex-step-mother, anyway.  (She was an extreme
case:  thought that charging wasn't really like spending money.)
I'm not saying this to be sexist, it's just a statistical fact.
The women tend to be an easier sell.
