How come the most famous people in any field (poetry? cooking? mathematics? biology? social activism? music?!) are typically guys?
It seems all too suspicious to me. Is it a biological issue? Or is it a sociocultural one? Are there other answers?
It comes after reading the following. I have beefs with each of them, but I'll post them here anyway.
1) John Tierney @ the NY Times posted
this article and then
this one.
2) MentorNet CEO (also a guy), David Porush, submitting
a rebuttal (albeit not a very thorough one).
