First of all, the word is "disciplines"...not "disciples". Secondly, please don't ever breed.

The typo error was corrected about one minute later.

Regarding the ad hominem atttack, it just shows an inability to deal with the facts. In this case, that gender does make a difference. Males are better at some stuff and females better at others.

It also shows that women get frustrated and say things like "don't breed" - very typical and obviously feminine!

Your quote from post 14 indicates that you have a bit of a problem dealing with the facts: "If there were boys there, they would see how hopelessly inferior most of them are in those disciples." I've met and worked with a number of women with Ph.D.s in the hard sciences, including physics. They are not "hopelessly inferior".

In this case, that gender does make a difference. Males are better at some stuff and females better at others.

Oh absolutely men and women have very obvious gender-based differences, and I never said otherwise. However, intellect and the ability to succeed in areas considered to be "man's country" are not amongst those differences.

It also shows that women get frustrated and say things like "don't breed" - very typical and obviously feminine!

You are attempting to create a sexist stereotype where one does not exist. I've often seen men use this same phrase against women within the hallowed halls of FR. I guess my mother was correct when she said, "To be considered equal, women only have to be twice as good", including, it would seem, public discourse.
