But I do think it is a guy thing. Guys want to live up to The Male Stereotype. Guys want to play big guitars and make lots of money as singer-songwriters. And it's hard to get rich singing songs that somebody else wrote, or that came from tradition.

I don't know how it is in the rest of the world, but men are no longer a majority in most universities in the U.S. - I think it's because getting an education is not part of The Male Stereotype.
