I'd guess that the can express *other* beings (things or humans)
better than men, but just *not themselves* (IMHO a consequence
of the education -- girls are still told to be nice and quiet and
to have no own wishes/needs, (which causes them to neglect their
own emotions (or even, in extreme cases, to be unable to feel
them)), boys the opposite). [The bad consequences of these two
educations are IMHO high criminality by men and lots of
bulimia/depressions etc. by women.]

In order to express something beyond oneself, this something has
to be present, which is why men (who are trivially present to
themselves) like to hack on ASCII consoles (thereby expressing
themselves), whilst women prefer to communicate with people who
are significantly closer to them than 255 TCP/IP hops.

Not around here :-)

Believe me on that one...
(That's a good thing too)

Precisely, in what quadrant of the past millenium do you live? [thinking

Loads of girls use paint packages and produce artistic looking
web sites but for some reason don't seem to be interested in
raytracing.  

A gril where I worked about a year ago was a really good artist,
she used printers, scanners, paintpackages and produced some
stunning work, but when I told her about ray tracing she wasn't
interested. 

Ken started a similar thread to this quite some time ago  about
the same time as the "Where are you thread?".

Yes, I know what you mean.  It seems (as a generalisation here), that most
female graphic artists do 2D work more than 3D work.  I know of several
female graphic artists and designers that do amazing 2D work, but aren't
really interested in 3D.

I think I heard something about some difference in the way males visualise
3D objects compared to females... but I can't remember what the difference
was or the technical side to it...

It's true! I think my '3D object' is a fine example of such things, but my
girlfriend says I'm mistaken! ;-)

I once knew a girl that made really good pictures with the Win 3.11
paintbrush in 16 colors. The first time I saw one of her
sunset-over-the-sea pics I thought it was a really beautiful photo and
asked if she could switch to 256 colors so that the dithering wouldn't
hurt the picture so badly. Imagine my amazement when she told me that
she had actually drawn the thing! My disbelief must have shown on my
face, too, because she showed me some in-progress pic and how she
worked on it with. It's a real pity she couldn't afford better
equipment or else she could have been reading this too :)

Now that sounds like a true definition of an artist to me. Ability to make good with
what one has to work with.

I used to love watching "Paint Along With Nancy", she used to
produce some really amazing scenes and didn't use a paint brush,
just palette knives. And she always had a piece of toilet paper
in her hand.
