Mary,

Dr. Lawrence Summers has to go as President of Harvard University.

Why? For speculating at a forum that math ability is the reason for so few women in science?

Yes. For making such a stupid speculation.

There is no science behind that speculation. There is no, none, nothing, nada scientific evidence to support that speculation.

There is actually nothing to support your PC 'everyone is equal' statements. There is substantial science developed through the years to support gender differences, some cultural, some suspected of being genetic.

It just became real unpopular to do, speak of or fund any of this research because of bigots like you.

Science should speak for itself.

Women are far better at men at some things, men are better than women at others. This does not prevent male linguist or female scientists from emerging. Its about averages.

But if anyone even speaking about obvious and clear differences is met by opinions like yours - well its pretty difficult to have intelligent discussions.

The latest version of this is the discovery that certain medicines work better on certain races.

God forbid that we look at helping the sick - we need to preserve some perverted viewpoint of equality.

Next we are going to have to drop all medicine that looks at gender differences - no more constipation drugs for women only.

John
