Gender roles

Systematic research on MySpace … well all right, casual observation … has revealed something that I had never noticed before.

In their profile pictures, most women are content to use an image that is a recognisable likeness of their face … usually looking at the camera.

Men, on the other hand, prefer to be pictured doing something: riding a bike, drinking a beer, pulling a cretinous face, and in a surprisingly high number of instances, holding a dead fish.

I’m sure it just goes to show something very significant about the differences between Mars and Venus, and I’ll let you know what as soon as I figure it out.
