This is partially old news.
Last year's Harvard President, Lawrence H. Summers, ate his words of wisdumb to the effect that -
"the intrinsic aptitude of women could help explain why fewer women than men reach the highest ranks of science and math in universities."
Opposition erupted, hell-fire was tossed about...and in the end, Summers lost his job.
He's about to get desert - Harvard's 30-member Board of Overseers (that's a lot of people...) will announce Harvard's new president, Dr. Drew Gilpin Faust....a woman.
She, no doubt, will be eager to point out why the intrinsic aptitude of men explains why they have their foot in their mouths more often and need to have a woman to get them out of their fix. No?
Women...men...yup!, different abilities and aptiudes...I think. Oh, and there are always exceptions.
what do you think?
