Men And Women Are Different ?!?!

Who'd of thunk it? A lot of feminists can't even imagine the possiblitiy.

The president of Harvard University, Lawrence H. Summers, sparked an uproar at an academic conference Friday when he said that innate differences between men and women might be one reason fewer women succeed in science and math careers. Summers also questioned how much of a role discrimination plays in the dearth of female professors in science and engineering at elite universities.

Nancy Hopkins, a biologist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, walked out on Summers' talk, saying later that if she hadn't left, ''I would've either blacked out or thrown up."


One thing about acacemia is that you can create your own reality and live in it - and have someone else to pay your rent.
