lefties vs. righties
Gender aside, what about the old bit about left-handed people being more creative while right-handed people are more analytical? It has been known for decades that professional musicians, creative writers, and graphic artists are far more likely to be left-handed than the population at large, and often a prospective employer can tell handedness without even meeting the person, just by looking at the slant of the applicant's handwriting.
But the problem, of course, is that there are plenty of very talented artistic types who happen to be right-handed, and plenty of highly skilled left-handed engineers and accountants. So far, I haven't heard about a single artist not getting a gallery showing or a single writer getting a rejection slip because they were right-handed, nor have I heard about H&R Block discriminating against lefties.
