It may be more a matter of men trying to harbour such quarter as their 
own and will become quite hostile to any female who seems to challenge 
that claim.

I wonder if a female came on here and started making demanding technical 
"suggestions," I wonder how that would be recieved.

That said, I read or heard that when women and men are set about the 
task of solving the same maze, completely different areas of the brain 
show activity.  Men seem to use deeper, more primitive, or earlier 
evolved portions, women use more lately evolved layers.  The salient 
thing there for me is that there are objective, measurable differences 
in brain activity.

 From what I have observed on other digital art sites, women seem to 
chose media that can get them past technique and into content more 
quickly.  They seem to have much less appetite for technical discussion 
for its own sake.  But I may be making a very selective observation there.
