Total Garbage. I am Post Graduate in Mathematics, came 2nd in University in Mathematics.
Grammar was difficult for me , Mathematics was just fun.

Then you should have the background to understand that statistical anomalies do not disprove a generalization.

Gee—I always thought geometry was the jumping off point for the rest of mathematics.

Minerva was goddess of mathematics and logic.
There has been no female equivalent since. And for all her talents. mathematics was never associated with the Virgin Mary.

People become what they are taught to admire. The Romans did not have a problem with strong, logical women.

But a generalization doesn’t prove anything.

Every advancement in mathematics was preceded by generalized ignorance.

On the other hand, the generalization that women are superior is indeed a fact of life.

Actually did very well in math and sciences and majored in arts - architecturally related - thankful for the good PUBLIC education we were blessed with in post 1970’s USA.

women prefer nursing

While nursing in times past used to be a people person job, times have changed. Nursing is now science and math based job with human psychology thrown in for good measure.

Guess I’m not a woman (don’t tell FrogDad!), I excelled at and love both math and science.

What annoys me is when people think that what *typically* is the case must therefore *always* be the case — or something is wrong. Okay, okay, maybe a majority of women are not super-keen on math. That doesn’t mean *all* of them are that way. My SIL teaches rocket science at a well-known university, and to the best of my knowledge she is not afflicted with any condition where she was exposed to too much testosterone in the womb. She simply likes math. And building rockets. And she’s good at both of them.

Yes, that's what women keep telling me.

If you thought it was sexist to assume that girls aren't good at science, maybe you should think again (though stereotypes are dangerous and there are certainly many, many exceptions).

By Jessica Cruel? LOL. The president of Harvard is forced to resign for pointing out this same discrepency. But Jessica Cruel can address it - as long as she puts you on sharp notice that extreme limits are to be observed.

Feminist totalitarianism - don't try this at home, folks, these are professionals!

In high school, I was 2nd for 2 years to 2 different girls in our districts math test...turns out I beat both of them in the college tests(ACT and SAT)...neither of them went on to college due to drugs/pregnancy.
