Actually his problem is that he’s not hard left enough.

Yep. I imagine the feminist outrage would have derailed him.

Feminist groups are still unhappy with Lawrence Summers, a top candidate for chairman of the Federal Reserve, over a comment from 2005 that they dubbed sexist.

He was the president of Harvard at the time, addressing an economics conference when he made the controversial comment:

“It does appear that on many, many different human attributes — height, weight, propensity for criminality, overall IQ, mathematical ability, scientific ability — there is relatively clear evidence that whatever the difference in means — which can be debated — there is a difference in the standard deviation, and variability of a male and a female population,” Summers said.

The far left still can't forgive Summers for his un-pc anti-feminist remarks while President of Harvard.
