Harvard Pres Says Females Naturally Bad at Math

Man_Holmes writes "Harvard president says that women lack natural ability in math and science and this explains why fewer women succeed in math and science. Lawrence H. Summers later said that he was discussing hypotheses based on scholarly work and that it did not necessarily represent his private views."

Women who are educated simply shouldn't have children at all. All children can be raised by poor people instead.

I guess you didn't have a father ?

Have you every *heard* of one?

I spent the formative years of my children's growth as the father and sole provider. My wife was working hard at the time earning her degree so that we BOTH would be able to provide for our children without living paycheck to paycheck.

Any family that takes the "father" out of the equation in child-rearing (and I mean providing more than just discipline) is a family on the road to failure.
