Distaff

If you want to really cause an upset with the fems, create an inventor list. This article just shows that men do most of the work, an inventor list (including inventors of new ways of thinking) shows who invented the world.

This study seems like a good measure of spontaneous interest in knowledge for its own sake. No technical computer background is necessary to contribute. The 7-1 ratio they found does not surprise me--even considering that there are more idle adult women than men. It also jibes with studies showing men are much more prone to having systematizing temperaments, a natural impulse to organize and manage what is non-human in life.
