Johnny, if you caught the point of my piece, then that’s because gatekeepers didn’t allow women to enter into those fields and fought against them tooth and nail if they did, censored them and didn’t allow them to be discussed or welcomed into those canons. Not because they didn’t exist, but because they were either denied those opportunities altogether, or if they managed it, were obscured by a culture that valued men more. This happens not just along gender lines, but racial ones as well. Just because the history books are full of white men in the arts and sciences, doesn’t attest to their natural superiority or genius in those fields over other demographics, but that society in its deeply biased and bigoted state, decreed only these white men were worthy of that acknowledgement. My argument is a biological one (and if you want to argue biology we can because much of my academic training is as an evolutionary biologist), but a sociological one.
