I would think that a search for meaning (ie. how human consciousness relates to the Universe as a whole) and ideas relating to a unified theory would apply to all and thus negating political, cultural, economic, and gender differences. When females do appear in the sciences, they are examples of extremely intelligent, highly motivated, and intensely focused individuals (ie. exceptional acheivers of scientific endeavor) while it appears that any mediocre male can get a backstage pass to the cosmic theatre. Is this gender bias ingrained at a young age? I don't remember an astronaut Barbie ever been issued. Perhaps it is taboo or shameful for a young woman to have interests in the very big or very small. Energy in all of its tranformations and manifestations should apply to man and woman alike.
