As I have state...Thank you both for your feedback.<br /><br />As I have stated myself, I do not subscribe to this theory either. As Nick Jennings said, though, that kind of thinking is very much alive in the business community (and elsewhere). People are influenced by that kind of stuff. I myself have earned lots of surprised reactions by both men and women when I told them that I work in IT engineering and that I used to do military service.<br /><br />The whole reason why I even wrote the piece above was, that I had a conversation with someone about EVE online development, and they basically came with exactly the explanation I presented "Yeah, figures that a female senior producer takes that direction."<br /><br />It was not my intention to state this as my opinion, but to present that viewpoint as a question. I was accused of flamebaiting, but that is not what I wanted at all. I was hoping for reactions like the ones you provided.<br /><br />From your reactions - and some others - I gather that there are at least some outspoken people who see absolutely no correlation between gender and the development of such a vision. <br /><br />But like I said, stereotypical thinking about gender is still very prevalent. However, since I consider it just as false as you do, I am happy to see that there are people around who completely reject the notion.Emergent Patrollerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210394924909245177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962276924342174960.post-41500867354437588982013-10-02T14:36:37.699+02:002013-10-02T14:36:37.699+02:00I would like to second this gentlemen's (Nick ...I would like to second this gentlemen's (Nick Jenning') analysis. <br /><br />It provides the simplest explanation rather than an unnecessarily superficial analysis to human psychology based on sexual evolution. Many authors on personality and gender have contended that the mode of analysis that you have employed is flawed and some have even argued that it works the other way; human societies invariably require the male, in their typical iterations, to support their spouse and children. <br /><br />The argument is that as that evolution would favour two parents supporting a young, requiring a largely equal contribution from both. Granted, males do not possess the sole biological ability to bear or nurse children; but it is argued that young born of parents with an trait demanding protection and long term development of their young will fare better than those without, thus leading to this trait being selected for in both genders. <br /><br />Speculative theories regarding human evolution pale in comparison to the skill of CCP Seagull.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962276924342174960.post-36256152008077259732013-10-02T04:04:11.473+02:002013-10-02T04:04:11.473+02:00This is heavily reductionist and assumes "men...This is heavily reductionist and assumes "men" or "women" have innate personality traits. The biological processing understanding of your article superimposes an understanding used to justify stereotypical rejections of women in positions of authority. "Women don't micromanage as well" is a common theme among business executives, while they have "long-term vision" they never make it there because of the very discourse your partaking in. This understanding misinforms the understanding of intersectionality as well as any other understanding of embodiment that's necessary for development. <br /><br />Perhaps a less controversial understanding is that CCP Seagull is a gifted designer with fantastic vision and the ability for long-term vision for the game. That she is doing somethign no other member of the staff could, and that she is creating innovative designer structures to help the "guys" effective do their jobs. <br /><br />My twocents <br />Nick JenningsNicholas Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10363030661539194574noreply@blogger.com
