Lane, you are going to extremes. The hypothesis was not that there is no female ability whatsoever. It was a matter of degree. PhD mathematics and science degree. My theory is well demonstrated and rather than reinvent the wheel, I simply and very easily provided the several links to the proof. What to do about it? My suggestion is to not wait until it's too late and the attempt to teach an old dog new tricks is once again shown to be futile. My suggestion is to turn females loose on the ideas at a younger age [depending on their interest]. We should remember that we can lead a horse to water but we can't make it think. It's quite clear to the most casual observer that women have a fairly substantial degree of mathematics possibilities. For ease of reference, here is the summary of facts from one of those links I gave: lagriffedulion.f2s.com <In brief, we have seen tonight that the gender gap in mathematics has been stable for at least half a century; that sex differences in ability-distribution means and variance ratio are independent of race, culture and geography; that female math performance is closest to that of males in high-IQ countries; that culture plays a role in math performance, albeit small; and that the theory of Everyone accounts for all of the above. If these results are unsettling, take comfort knowing that no presentation of fact, regardless how compelling, will keep the gap buster from her noble calling. Thank you for listening to a few of the facts. > Three years is a lot of time to lose in a red hot competition. My theory is that three years cannot be made up simply by starting earlier, but it would certainly help. Mqurice
