FEMALE OR MALE AESTHETIC DISPOSITIONS ?

This post is a followup to the question that Dr. Joe brought up in class today and which I am asking each class member to respond to. The question is: are there observable differences between females and males in aesthetic taste, artistic conception, subject matter and art collecting? In responding to the question you can address all of the points or focus on one only. For example one may simply want to talk about art collections and how women such as Marion Koogler McNay obtained works of art that seem to be more domestically related than the more eclectic preferences of Norton Simon or J.P.Getty. Or one may want to tackle the big genetic question on innate genetic dispositions which will require more than a paragraph to accomplish =)

Offer examples from real life and use yourself as an example as a female or male.

I look forward to the dialogue and to Dr. Joes joining into the discussion.

Warm regards to all genetic participants,

Bill
