Apparently it's evolutionary...
(This could be my sexist view actually).

Creativity is generally a male trait, and allows genetically superior men to demonstrate their mad skills and then women fall about in awe and have their babies. Women (as the selective sex) don't "need" to be creative...although here are some fantastically creative women, but like you say, it's mainly men.

oooooh
don't think that's gonna be a popular response, no matter how much irony you drape it in...
I don't necessarily think men are any more creative but I think that the habits of teenage boys and girls are dictated somewhat by culture. It isn't THAT common for a bunch of young teenage girls to get together and try and emulate their musical heroes:
14 year old boys wanna form a rock band. 14 year old girls wanna sleep with boys from rock bands.

It's like birds.
Males are all colorful, females are drab.

Not like birds at all!
The general discussion here is that men can be ugly and successful, but women are a pretty face and that's it.
