Alex, I'm not familiar with the book, hence not familiar with "worship gene". But, let me guess, and tell me if I am right or wrong: young women artists who "worship" some older male artist and his work? To the point that it interferes with their own artistic growth?
If so, I'd guess that it would be a term that means beyond the normal mentor/mentoree relationship...it would mean in a destructive sense.
Maybe I'm way off track....just curious.
