Male/female brain differences dictate the predominance of men and women in certain professions!

So were Arthur C Clarke and J M Barrie but their works are important additions to the English canon.
In the case of Clarke it was more than a suspicion.

Okay, if you'd be so kind, just to clarify this so I can write it down in my notebook here -

It's okay to be a philandering, sexist jerk, so long as I leave some good writing behind?

Hell, I'm in like Flint! :devilish:
 
No, as long as sexist, philandering jerks are breathing they are persona non grata with me but after they are dead,
if they leave behind anything good, it can be appreciated.

Even then a gap of about 25 years is necessary before that can occur.

Harris' and Cosby's bodies of work won't be getting reruns any time soon.
 
Leonard Bernstein was conducting to an outdoor audience in Israel some time ago and announced he was going to play something from Wagner, very few left...
 
Wonderful Warri! Wish all guys were like you Underock. Even though my career is no longer considered a 'soft' science, the prejudice was, and still is there. To his discredit, recently, my doctor's locum, well aware of my education, sneered at the type of easy

courses such as psych 101 and all the other soft stuff I studied, re the hard chem

and math courses he took. He had no idea what my course load entailed. He just assumed. I stared him in the eye, and suggested he try attending university while experiencing PTSD. That shut him up. I told him, you can't medicate, because it fuzzes your brain,



and affects your concentration. So you live in a split

screen world. He was still competing, surprised I graduated from a good university, going on about his marks. I got pissed--not to my credit, but this was during the worst of the tooth infection wars, where he also insinuated my childhood dental abuse may

have been due to me

being a hot fifteen year old. Not that it matters, I was eight. I blasted him. Apparently his dad was a dentist? . Anyway, I dug up my final documents for my degrees, including Doctorate, and shared them with him on my last visit. Class whore that he is,

his treatment of me changed. I can't believe your marks he said. I smiled and said, my intelligence has always been considerably larger than my dress size, that I had never found breasts to be a barrier to brilliance.

. I did not tell him I am not brilliant, just very focused, and was tutored in statistics four nights a week for nine months before I had to take the course. Lol. PS, hard science courses were also required as I progressed along my chosen path. Were they

more difficult? except for stats, no. Just different. Ultimately, far less relevant to a career which relies far more on empathy

Than wave curve analysis, or rat psychology, and where service dogs often offer more healing than I ever could. Lol. Sometimes, male military refuse to work with a woman, cuz I won't understand, usually their friends, former clients suggest

they give me a chance. Usually it works out. Colleagues, ninety percent positive. When I started out, perhaps fifty percent.
we've come a long way baby!
 
Oy that having a hootie means anything to do with brains...

I categorically state that no Canadian women know anything about hootie, their definition, origin, or possible applications. The are alien to our northern consciousness. Long may they remain so.
