Larry Summers was fired as Harvard President for similar heresy.

Good enough explanation for typical conversations at the homestead:

Me: "Honey, what are we going to have for dinner tonight?"

Her: "I think I'll go to the store."

Watch it suckas!!! Larry Summers, President, Harvard University, was outed by the female faculty for saying that males are better at math and science.

As a female who held her own and bested many males at math and science, this is hogwash... I think intelligence is an individual gift.

I could’ve saved them a few thousand dollars if they had asked me.

Did he REALLY say that? I thought he just said something akin to how innate differences between men and women might be one reason fewer women succeed in science and math careers.

Funny thing is... the more free drinks they give away the more money they make!

Cognitive differences between the sexes are more dramatic on the right tail of the bell curve. In professions that require high IQ, men tend to dominate.

They are also more dramatic on the left tail. A lot more men are retarded or autistic.

But it is also a group gift. See the link in post 15.

“Although researchers have long agreed that girls have superior language abilities than boys”

Is it just me or is there something quite awkward about the phrase above?

The article is about averages. It has absolutely nothing to say about any individual.

Many women are excellent performers in math and science. Many men are highly verbal.

But averages and statistical performance by group are also important.
