        @avantgame well I believe women will be specially interested in successful women and probably the most read section by women is this one.

        @hernaez so we should expect profiles of men in tech in the escort ads section of said paper? cc @avantgame

        @avantgame I think the better question is why aren't the profiles of leading men in tech and science not in the Sports section? ;)

        @avantgame That’s absolutely ridiculous. Thankfully, I don’t really pay attention to the sections and mainly read articles linked by friends

        @avantgame Perhaps because they're fashionable, stylish or both.

        @avantgame Novelty. Female tech leaders are still rare enough that "female" is more newsworthy than "tech" -> the "Lifestyle" section. [+]

        @avantgame That rarity is a problem, but I'd suggest the newspaper's placement choice simply reflects that problem. [-]

        @avantgame Had a male undergraduate prof who studied lacrimation (why/how we cry). Can't imagine him getting punted to the style section.

        @avantgame just got to end/beginning of your conversation. Interesting point. The whole section structure of newspapers is goofy now.

        @avantgame The Times is a propaganda arm of the Obama administration. Ask Vallerie Jarett to answer your query.
