One needs to be a woman to understand "women can't do maths" because that's a verbal generalisation rather than a mathematical statement of absolute. In the maths realm it's a description of a probabilistic fact. A dozen women can fiddle with Schroedinger's equation and stroke his cat but they are just the very tip of the probabilistic tail. Even the very tip of the feminine tail can't bootstrap out into the unknown unknown as the once in a century bloke can do. E=MC2 is so well known because such enlightenment is so extraordinarily rare. Knowing a dozen women who can solve some electrodynamic equations doesn't falsify the long tail theory of male cognitive superiority in mathematical boot-strapping. It's a funny thing to watch the grey ooze theory of people struggle to pretend all are the same if only the stale pale male patriarchy would take their boots off the backs of the suppressed women, melanin-rich (excluding those superlative north-east Indians who donated DNA to Ashkenazis), poor, short, etc, and let their mathematical awesomeness shine. I don't see why people get steamed by and want to deny the fact that some groups have vastly superior talents. Well, I do = it's stupidity, arrogance, envy, fear and desire to dominate. In fairness, there's a self defence aspect too such as a wish not to be enslaved as groups are prone to do to others. Mind, profits, stuff and technology can be evolutionarily highly successful. Look how the Anglosphere brought enlightenment to the benighted hordes. I agree the holy trinity of mind (aka sentience, aka I observe and think therefore I am), cognitive horse power and purpose are the real deal but a prosperity gospel church bears the same relationship to the real deal as a prostitute relationship does to marriage.
