But a system that makes it harder for a certain group of people to become successful will create more successful people of the favoured group.

There may be other factors at play here, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say that men have a higher likelyness of being extremely talented with the possible underlying implication that talent is dependent on sex.

As an artist myself I might add, talent is a misconception in itself. Arts are a craft that can be learned.

What seems to be lacking is women’s ability to recognize and appreciate [extreme talent] in men, and that’s the point I believe anon was trying to make.

The whole bear/man in the woods thing was about feeling safe, not men’s artistic talent.

Would I feel uneasy or insecure about it if I was a guy? Probably. But anon fails to ask the important question. Why do women choose the bear, despite the dedicated, artistic, violent deeds of men for love?

I’ll leave this open, because I believe we won’t see eye to eye on this one.
