Men and Women are Different


iconLawrence Summers, the President of Harvard and last Secretary of the Treasury under President Clinton, is in trouble. Apparently he had the nerve to tell a group of feminists that men and women are different.

The president of Harvard University prompted criticism for suggesting that innate differences between the sexes could help explain why fewer women succeed in science and math careers...

The remarks prompted Massachusetts Institute of Technology biologist Nancy Hopkins - a Harvard graduate - to walk out on Summers' talk, The Boston Globe reported.

It's no secret that men are more naturally attuned to analytical subjects like math, science, and killing spiders, while women are better at creative activities like cooking, cleaning, and laundry. (Hard to believe I'm still single isn't it?)

Seriously though, on average women are better at things that require creativity and emotion while men are better at physical and analytical stuff. That's not to say that women cannot grow up to be scientists and their male counterparts, interior decorators. I'm just saying that they have to work at it a little harder.

Elsewhere on the web, there are those opinionists that took the safe way out. James Taranto refused to agree with what we all know is true, and stuck with poking fun at Nancy Hopkins, who said she almost vomited after hearing the speech.

You've just gotta love this Nancy Hopkins, who managed with her little outburst to reinforce stereotypes of feminists as humorless harpies and of women as ruled by their emotions.
Way to go out on a limb there.
