Maurice, just because you say something over and over again does not actually make it true. Just becuase you pronounce that something is true and then link to a website doesn't actually make something true.

I see that you have convinced yourself but your 'proof' isn't actually proof, it's simply opinion. Did you hear about the Nobel Prize awarded today for medicine? I remember hearing that the researcher actually infected himself with the bacteria in order to prove his point to the medical establishment. The medical establishment was totally convinced that drinking milk was the key to curing ulcers.

Now THAT's proof. It's an experiment that can be reproduced the world over as often as you like.

That's what I'd like to see. I want to see the biology of mathematics and mathematical genius. I want to see 'genius' defined and see a direct link to gender.

Everything else is speculation and building educational policy on speculation isn't helpful. If you can, however, tie masculinity to achievement in math and science rather than achievement in head-bashing, more power to you. It may not be the truth but it would be good for society.
