Being male is clearly *not sufficient*. There are enough women in science that is also isn't necessary to be male. There are differences in performance but the lines are fuzzy enough that you can't rule out the societal influence easily. <br><br>Thanks,<div><br></div><div>gopi@iPhone</div><div><br></div></div><div><br>On Apr 5, 2013, at 15:33, hep <<a href="mailto:dis@gruntle.org">dis@gruntle.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">is this for fucking real? like right now in 2013 we are gonna espouse some "men's brains are better at this and women are inferior at it." why is it that my brain is smaller than yours garrett and i am still fkn smarter than you? <div>

</div>Men and women have different brain matter and this may well explain<br>
why men tend to excel at math, logic, mental rotation, problem solving<br>
and the like and why fewer women tend to seek out careers which<br>
require such skills.<br>
