I hope you don't mind if I butt in..interesting convo.
"Part of the reason men indulge in such activity is because they are wired to be stimulated by visual cues - probably more so than women."
Scott, I think that is total bs...an excuse (not on your part), a myth created by some in society. There are certainly, unequivocally, artists of the female gender more stimulated by visual cues than non-artist men. Also, for me, I compensated for my ADD traits by utilizing my visual assets--I memorized word patterns/the way phrases 'looked'; as a result, I didn't need to read questions on multiple choice/TF tests..I would just 'look' at the question and know the answer by harnessing my visual astuteness...there are many women, I know personally about this..that are more stimulated by ALL the senses...than their male counterparts. Not that the sexual thing is untrue..women want emotional stimulation as well..
Flutterby--in hunting/gathering societies, think Native Americans and others--women had the same status as men; they were just as 'valuable' and there were no sexual taboos there. In some cases, women had more power due to sexuality and child bearing ability. The Native American way was fascinating; it's too bad the U.S. destroyed that amazing culture. Cultures weren't always sexist. Your right though, religions had a lot to do with this change. Religions have been used as a means of power and control.
