The fact that you added the disclaimer to your views (sexual preference and political party) means that you felt people might react negatively to your thoughts - perhaps the term chauvinistic or biased might come into their minds - and if you thought all that, then you were right. I have an issue with your so called statistics in men being better in science. One you most probably assumed there was some statistic that said that due to the fact there are not many recognizable names in science that are female, and the field is male dominated. You jump to the conclusion that they are mentally incapable, I for one jump to the conclusion women were discouraged from science, and oppressed when they attempted to enter the field. Years of doing this would explain why there are more men in the field. As for the idea that most women do not want to enter science can be explained from a psychological viewpoint. Generation upon generation was imprinted with the fact science was for only the men. Of course there will be adjustment for women to become accustomed to this change in the scientific community. Statistics do actually show this generation of elementary school girls are more interested in science, as male oppression begins to leave the field. Girls in todays society are beginning to break the stereotype. Please sir, saying women are less able in science then men are, is saying that gays are less able then straights are in science- nonsensical indeed. The fact you even make the suggestion that sex and race are connected with intelligence provides a testament to the idea that evolution has indeed not finished. Clearly primates are still among us.
