I know women can't do maths

We both realize that you are not serious, because disproving your informal theorem with it's equally informal proof requires a simple counter-example. I know dozens. :)

The situation is far more complicated and requires considerable typing, even if I was silly enough to assume that I had the time and the ability to make a cogent argument.

I am constantly amazed that thinking is so infatuated with "mind", "profits", "stuff", and "technology". As one moves from the far East to the West, one awakens to how different the religions of the East are compared to those of the West. And if an Eastern person wants to walk into a building and get a slap in the face (meaning, a wake-up call, to how deeply "God", "mind" and "cleverness" are wrapped up in an orgasmic threesome in the West) one only needs to go into a church based on prosperity gospel. So one can see why and how society has become sooooooo mesmerized.

These are very hard things to talk about and explain. They need background, time, reflection. And people deeply conditioned to certain ways of thinking are disadvantaged.

That same kind of disadvantage applies to women, when one realizes that one of the reasons that they do not do math is because they have been primed not to do math. Not so much by genetics but by the history of society.

But there are deeper things are work here. Women are the giver of forms. Where the forms come from is something nobody knows --- the fundamental mystery that no math can explain. Men function in the service of society. They were meant for different things. So when people talk about "equality" I am always reminded that we do not know what we ask for.

Those are the basics. The rest is what we have done to these things.
