Something like 60% of all accountants and auditors and about 45-50% of Big 4 accountants are women. I struggle to think of a physiological difference that would make staring at hex dumps all night unpalatable for women but would make staring at ledgers all night reasonably palatable. I don't think that's the Occam's razor answer to that question.

One of these jobs often rewards creativity. In the other creativity might get you fired or even jail time? (Have never seen job postings looking for creative accountants :-)
