Equal rights/equality means that everyone has the opportunity to do as they wish, with a few obvious exceptions (blind people can't drive and men can't become pregnant, etc.)
It doesn't mean that people are have the same abilities.
I think that people confuse these two ideas a lot.
Could it be true that women, on average, don't have the aptitude for math and science? Sure. But if we have equality in our society than those women who have the aptitude for math are not excluded solely on the basis of gender.
