Harvard Pres Says Females Naturally Bad at Math

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the very-presidential-sir dept.

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."

  1. This guy is on crack! by lasermike026 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This guy is on crack! This may be one of the most stupid statements i've heard in the last ten years. And we wonder why this country is so messed up.

    The speakers statement is patently false not worthy of any consideration. I would instead consider the speakers general lack of knowledge and gender bias.

    In short, the man is a dolt.
