The Myth of the Mathematics Gender Gap
Coryoth writes "The widely held belief that there is disparity in the innate mathematical abilities of men and women has been steadily whittled down in recent years. The gender gap in basic mathematics skills closed some time ago, and recently the gap in high school mathematics has closed up as well, with as many girls as boys now taking high school calculus. Newsweek reports on a new study published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that begins to lay to rest the remaining argument that it is at the highest levels of mathematics that the innate differences show. Certainly men dominate current academia, with 70% of mathematics Ph.D.s going to men; however that figure is down from 95% in the 1950s. Indeed, while there remain gaps in achievement between the genders, the study shows that not only are these gaps closing, but the size of the gap varies over differing cultures and correlates with the general degree of gender inequality in the culture (as defined by World Economic Forum measures). In all, this amounts to strong evidence that the differences in outcomes in mathematics between the genders is driven by sociocultural factors rather than innate differences in ability."

According to a study conducted by the Lifestyle condom company, the vast majority of penises fall between 5 and 5.75 inches. The graph drops off so quick that you only need another half inch or so to get into the top 10-15%.
All this talk of penis size doesn't really matter. The most sensitive part of the vagina is in the first inch or two, and the spot isn't really affected by the penis during normal intercourse. Beyond that, the real trick is intellectual and emotional anyway. As long as you're not doing something stupid, the biggest difference between crappy sex and great sex is being in the right state of mind.
This is the same case for "Spreading the wealth" which is a huge part of this current Presidents views. So we have to spread the love of both equality and money.
