Face it: women can not do math or science?

Ah yes the spark of controversy, I love it. Now I am not supporting the comments because I believe that genetically we are all the same, I think inherent in all of us is the ability to do whatever subject we put our mind to. However, I deeply believe that very early in life we are set on paths that will determine what our propensities will be for; it may be as simple as the toys we play with but I think we all start with a blank slate and from then on things are etched into our conscience.
Anyway the thing that sparked my musing is the uproar over the comments of Harvard’s President: Lawrence Summers. In his comments he argues that “that intrinsic differences between the sexes, along with family pressure and employer demands, probably play a bigger role than cultural factors and discrimination in explaining why fewer women than men have top science jobs.”
“Summers said he was inclined to favor family pressure and biology as explanations over discrimination and social factors.” He did claim that he was only guessing (probably to try and soften the blow) and that he wanted to provoke – way to go.
I really just find it hard to believe that women are biologically inferior to men…intellectually.
