Why are all the "great" artists men?

This is a telling article in the Guardian.  Click for the link.

I saw the new Star Trek movie: I liked it.

I did.  It was a fun movie.  I know so many people who are so passionate about the cannon that they are frothing at the mouths over what JJ whosits has done but the media has changed so much you just can't fit all those bells and whistles  into a smaller box.

That said, I still was not as moved as I was when I saw Spock dieing.  I don't know why.  I cry about everything these days so why not for re-boot Kirk?

Maybe it is all the bells and whistles?
