Why divisive stereotypes?  There must be some explanation behind
these trends... There is no doubt in my mind that the ratio of 
women collecting VM reels vs. stereo views is much higher than
the same ratio between men.  Instead of rejecting these observations
as "less than useless", why don't we think of an explanation?
