I am with you. But of course the differences arent always genetic--theres a lot of history to take into account that drives peoples in different directions. The bulk of humans are all the same. Some groups have proclivities in one direction or another. Larry Summers brought up mens apparent lead in math and lost his job for that. Not PC. And all he was doing was raising an interesting question of whether this could be genetic. Well it could be but whether it is is open to debate. My daughter was a great math student and a good softball player when she was in grade school. Next day she had earings and was interested in boys. I remember watching in utter amazement that while at 3rd base she was fixing her hair and a ground ball went buy her for a hit. She wanted a do-over for a hair emergency. Her math might have suffered a bit too. My wife the teacher tells me that studies show that girls in all girls schools do better in math than the coeds and perhaps they do a little better in softball too.
