105. So do you think any activity can be more masculine or feminine
Edited on Thu Sep-27-07 01:01 PM by Threedifferentones
than another? If so, is war more masculine than the study of the mind? If it is true that many more male humans have some extra tendency towards physical aggression (ie war is masculine) than females, isn't the repression of that a much subtler and more emotional issue than money?

I am skeptical of the OP's proposition as well but you're analogy of some sexist asshole saying "masculine" ideas are more marketable or that more women in the field means lower pay is not applicable to the topic.

Edited for spelling.
