Are men more creative than women?

Question:

Are men more creative than women?

I know there are a lot of studies that claim average intelligence is higher in men, but what about creativity. If you look at the past, nearly in all artistic fields they have been mostly made up of men. One could argue this was because of more opportunities, but many famous artists did not have opportunities at all, they made their own with their art. In art, film, music, almost all of the major faces in the field are men. Has anyone ever studied the physiological side of this?

I think men are more adventuresome in art, but that may be in the past. Certainly women have long demonstrated amazing creativity: look at some of the amazing needlework arts in the better museums, almost all done by women. And modern women are of course in all sorts of creative endeavors. But lots of women care little for anything creative outside their own physical creations -- their babies -- and sometimes people say men and childless women are creating other things in compensation for this lack. Don't know about that, but I do think men are more daring in art.
