Women are (and please read this) IMO just as capable as men in the technical areas, but they have rarely that interest, their interest (my experience) lies in the creative aspect and they are put off by the logical and theoretical aspects of photography.

and it is unfortunate that most of the men who i know who are either working photographers, or forum frequenters
are only for the most part interested in gear and the technical aspects of photography. instead of making interesting photographs
about anything at all.
