To: Leftism is Mentally Deranged
You may want to revisit Lawrence Summers info. He's the one who said - in math and science - women are stoopid.

He's the one who said - in math and science - women are stoopid. Don't know if that's sarcasm but that's not what he said. He proposed the idea that the differences in high-level achievement in math and sciences between men and women may be due to inherent biological differences. Women in the audience then succumbed to the vapors!

"Lawrence Summers ... said - in math and science - ... women are stoopid."
Summers did not say that. He hypothesized, at a session of an academic conference devoted to understanding why there are so few women Ph.D.s in math and *some* sciences, that women and men may have the same *average* aptitude for these subjects but that the *variance* in aptitudes is larger for men than for women. This hypothesis implies that there are fewer women in both the upper tail of the science/math aptitude distribution (presumably, where most professional mathematicians and scientists are located) and in the lower tail of the distribution, where the "stoopid" (in a math/science sense) people are. So, Summers was really saying that males, not females, are disproportionately "stoopid" in these subjects.
