i think it all comes down to that brainsize problem. Everyone knows males
have a bigger brain...
In all seriousness *putting on my glasses*... I think it has to do with the
years and centuries of being socialized a certain way. Technology in general
is something that more males then females are raised to learn and
appreciate. That one is clear as day.
Music... well, i know I read research before that musical talent is more
encouraged in boys then girls. Boys get those guitar lessons and stuff for
their 7th birthday.
Culturally, everyone knows guys with the biggest record collections who also
make music and happen to be a deeeeeeeejaaay get laid much faster. Evolution
in its finest. :)
