I don't disagree that men are on average better at some aspects of math. I just think saying so is likely to be injurious to your health. :-)

The feminazis and lefties on campuses remind me of creationists. The try to restrict speech and intimidate people into accepting untruths.

One of my daughters is an engineer. Many of the the men in her engineering class understood higher math quicker than she did and she had to work harder than many of them on the math. But once she understood it, they were at parity. However, she does much better at communicating than most of the total math jocks.

This has shown me that we should allow women to learn math in a different way than men. They might need more time to absorb the concepts, but once they get them it is about even. Their verbal skills being better than men makes a big difference in moving on to management level jobs. My daughter makes big bucks now because of the differences between men and women.

It is funny that I hit the math wall and could not get by calculus. I think if I had been taught in a slower more methodical way I could have done it. I have four children and two of them seem to have inherited the math gene from their chemical engineer grandfather. One is a boy and one is a girl. The boy scored 100 points higher in math than the girl on the SATs (the boy had a near perfect score). This is not scientific of course, but I think it shows the difference.

That one woman professor who said she felt "sick" and left the room when Summers was throwing out his ideas for discussion, illustrates the anti-intellectual quality of the left.

What makes me sick is that these idiots are educating our youth as the "leaders of tomorrow". Something needs to be done quickly to get real education going again.

Ward Churchill, the fake indian, is the poster boy for ignorance and useless time-wasting subjects.
