What the hell is wrong with people?
I always have to go back to the then-president of Harvard, Larry Summers.
In some talk/speech, he floated the possibility that there just might be a difference between boys and girls, and some female biologist at MIT almost suffered a heart attack at that "concept".
It also got Summers (along with his idea that "professors" such as Cornel West should actually teach, since he's being paid to do so) booted out by the outcry from the humanities faculty.
