Maybe the reason the greatest artists tend to be male is because they're striving for some form of 'immortality', akin to having children.
"As long as men can think or men can see, so long lives this..." as Shakespeare wrote about one of his sonnets.
There is also the notion that men's abilities span a broader spectrum than women's.
Look for the best and worst examples of what humans can accomplish, and you're likely to encounter a preponderance of males in both cases.
