She isn't arguing that they are innate. She is simply saying that "artisticness" is a trait which is coded as feminine in our society. Without putting words in her mouth, I'm pretty sure she'd agree with you that it's socially constructed rather than natural.
Yeah. Artistic creativity (especially certain types) are labeled as superficial and frivolous, which are the negative stereotypes we typically associate with women rather than men.
Thanks, I thought for a second I wasn't being clear. And I did use the phrase "cultural projections" which I totally stole, but I feel it is a better way of saying stereotype. Stereotypes is such a negative word and diesnt often include positive attributes. But they are not always wrong and are often rooted in truth.
And again, I am not talking about gender at all. I am talking about balance.

I concur. Off the record, males artistically inclined are even labeled off as homosexuels.
