you've come a long way, baby - but not long enough
illyria wtf

The president of Harvard (yes, the big prestigious university) says that boys outperform girls on high school science and maths scores because of genetic difference.

So much for the liberal bias in academia, huh? I can't tell you how mad this makes me. Pretty sad when an English major loses her tongue. I guess Marie Curie should have stayed home and had babies. I note that this is a pretty vague article, was it created to make reders mad? Possibly. I just get so tired of talk like this. And, yes, if the guy had said something about men being not as capable in the language arts as women due to biological reasons, I would have been mad too. Can't we all just get along?

This made me think of a statistic I read somewhere (and believe to be true based on my own knowledge) that women almost always do better in logic games and also puzzles. So hmmm... someone just wants to be biased.
