I once found a cite that said that the # of female winners increased dramatically when musicians were judged in blind auditions (i.e. the performer played behind a curtain).

We were designing and building prototypes of very large, complex machines. Trying to check the fit of our parts (which tended to run about 4 feet in length) was difficult because union rules limited us to 6" scales.

Maybe minus the gender difference part though, which is sort of your point. In fact, I'm not even sure that I think about their gender coming into play at all. I do, however, contemplate nature/nurture constantly.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for playing. :) You SHOULD feel rockin' everyday for all that Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
