<You don't see that many female chefs either. Do you think men are genetically predisposed to be superior cooks as well?> I don't know about that. Being a "top cook" isn't a very measurable thing. How do you decide who is a good chef and who isn't? Golf is easy to measure - count how many hits to get the ball in the hole. In maths, see who gets right answers quickly and effectively. Same in physics. In chess, see who loses their king. At a guess, I'd say the very best of the best chefs would be men. Which isn't to say most women can't poach an egg or put a bun in the oven. Ah, the old "nobody knows", when what you mean is you don't know and don't want to look ignorant: <What I'm saying is that no one knows, even those at Harvard, whether professional choices are made because of talent and skill or chance and environment. The world may have missed many talented female mathematicians and scientists > That's a fine assertion, but have a read of this and explain to me where he is wrong, and why, and perhaps even provide data to support your ideas, like he does: lagriffedulion.f2s.com In God we Trust, all others must provide data = a sign in the office of one of my customers.
