One major biological reason seems to be that women simply aren't as obsessive as men (sure, there are exceptions as with all things). Obsessiveness (hmm, my spell checker doesn't recognise this word!!) is a key factor in the time it takes to learn to DJ, learn to write tracks etc. This is pointed out quite early on in "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life", which I have just started to read!
