Isn't that a bit of a sweeping statement in itself - it's cultural, not biological? Sure, there must be hundreds of factors why women aren't as well presented as men, that's the whole point in undertaking such a difficult project right? I was simply pointing out one factor that immediately occurs to me. I'd say most people on this list are at least a little obsessive about techno, that's the reason we read it day in day out.
