Women in Palaeontology

This title may not immediately strike you as germane, but I am testing a theory.

Besides, I have loved dinosaurs since a very young age, and women a little bit later after the dinosaurs, though, the similarities don’t end there, and frankly, often it would be far preferable to live in the Xenozoic Era than dealing with the dual brain solipsism of human females.

The dinosaurs would certainly at least balance the human females. Imagine… hunting a rabid T-Rex that has been terrorising a local village, watching herds of Triceratops thundering through the Precambrian vegetation. You could put up with a lot of female weirdness if you could have that sort of life… you and your .460 Weatherby against hungry velociraptors… And I also think the female weirdness would be a lot less than it is today under those conditions. Your Pterodactyl soup would be warm and freshly cooked when you return from dispatching the sabre-tooth tiger that had been stalking the outskirts of the village walls.

Are women even interested in palaeontology? I am not aware of any prominent ones, though I am certainly not an expert in the field. But it is one of those topics that I think may be mostly the domain of men, as, I think, are almost all abstract concept topics (physics, mathematics, cosmology, astronomy). I think Palaeontology is a good test, as definitely bound to something physical and material but removed in time, and I suspect this sort of material too is not appealing to the female brain. See also, history in general. Your theories as to why are welcome. I have my own of course.
