Some men love whimsy, and some love wimmin.


The link between math and music is overrated. Music, it is true, has tons of math to be discovered in it, but there is a Mississippi of fine music that was generated by people who knew little more than addition, if that.

Knowing how to count 1, 4, 5 is not exactly an advanced mathematical skill. I haven't seen Woody Guthrie's SAT scores lately, or Leadbelly's, but I would guess way back in the dim mists of history that music had a very long head start, before the math to deconstruct it was evolved.

As for gender, it has nobearing, to my mind -- there may be cultural biases that set girls more toward one or another kind of performance or instrument, but musicality per se is purely human, and transcends gender.

You might as well ask whether women have souls!! Silly question.
