He said fewer women were in those fields. That is true. Women are better at language and art, men are better at math and science

Are women less capable in math or less interested in it? He doesn't clarify ...

I don't think the clarification would matter. I think both are true. Most men are better than most women in those fields. More men are interested in those fields than women. Never can you say "all", and he didn't. Of course there are women who do excel in those areas. It is not as though we still put up with the "Now Suzy, it's cute that you like science, but don't you think you should be a housewife and let the men handle the hard things?" attitude. Women can do whatever they want to do, just like all minorities in this country.
