"The report, which emphasized the feelings of anonymous female professors, found that discrimination manifested itself in a "stealth-like" way at MIT — which is generally PC code for "I'm not going to provide any evidence." "
ROTF....
Men and women are different?
Really?
I cannot believe that I have lived all these years and not known that men and women are different.

However, I hereby raise a very au courant issue: Anorexia and bulemia. I've wondered greatly since the 1970s as I watched an increase in these two social viruses where they may have had their origins. The feminists claim it's "evil men who demand women be thin". No, it's not. It's women demanding that women be thin. No one's got a gun to these women's heads. But "puking" at those things which offend one's so-called "sensitivities"? "Fat" is considered "offensive". So, some women puke to get rid of "fat".
And here's Hopkins, in kind, suggesting that mere words equals "actions" -- that she ingested something fatal as merely "uttered" by a speaker. Yes, of course, all this is tangental to Jonah's column -- but is it really? Perhaps the good professor Hopkins instead of puking might consider excercising her brain in ways that challenge her -- might just solve her "puke reaction". And as a role model? How many women really do get off on role modeling themselves in science and engineering fields if they gotta "puke" in thinking this translates as an intelligent response?
Dialing... Katherine MacKinnon....
Here's a thought experiment: It's two million years ago. Eveghrtf has babies stays in the cave and takes care of them. Nancggrtf goes out hunting with the guys. Whose genes are more likely to get passed on?
I heard Rush yesterday talking to a woman that used to teach science (can't remember if it was HS or college) saying she witnessed over and over how men are more oriented to excel in science.
Alas - I have the answers for my C's in HS!!!!
Lawrence Summers statement has drawn controversy all over the place on the morning talk shows. Women are outraged, too bad they can't face reality. Personally I think the man is right on! Men and women are different and the PC crowd needs to get their heads on straight.
That kind of highlights the innate difference between men and women doesn't it?
LOL! I love NR!
"Qick, get the Smelling Salts - this lady has The Vapors! I wonder what would have happened if somebody tried to loosen her girdle?
One only has to look at recent development biology and even development toxicology information on the fetal brain to see clear differences in brain region/cell population development among genders.
This can be stated as scientific fact without necessarily implying any judgement as to whether one pattern is more desirable or preferable over the other.
But for a biologist to take a position that the differential brain development has no potential post-natal biological implications would require a disbelief in virtually all prior neurological research.
I assume some kind of male 'prosthetic" would fall out.
It's feminazi women like her who make life more difficult for women like me.
Did she clarify which branches of science? If men are more oriented to spatial and mathematical tasks, that would make them better at physics, though not biology.
I remember just the other day, some mean female said that men can't really ever drive properly and I became so ill I had to curl up on the floor in a little ball and take a nap.
Then I went out and bought a new pair of shoes.
Wait...
She was speaking spatially.
Her example was water in a tube that was curved or U shaped - males in her classes could answer questions on a test about what would happen to the water levels about 80-20% (or close to) correctly compared to females. Of course in a u-shaped tube the water would be euqal on both sides regardless of the tilt of the U.
I thought is was very interesting.
