This may have been covered already (I can't read through 5 whole
pages!), but has it occurred to anyone that the "genuises" we know
about are those that have been able to find a niche? And that
those are able to find a niche might be predominantly male because
other males have given them opportunities unafforded to women for
generations?
Like it or not, women have
not been given the same opportunities
as men through the years, and I believe our notion of what makes a
"genuis" has suffered for it.
