Comment Male dominance (Score 1) 1746

Suppose that women were/are dominated physically, politically, socially, economically and every which way.. and that is the reason why they dont have numbers in the relevant areas of (hard) science and math. Lets look at some males: 1) Jim Gates: Black and was afraid to apply to MIT for fear of rejection - and in 1969 there was a lot of racism.. but .. somehow he did ok .. he got into "the relevant areas" see: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/databank/entries/bpgat e.html 2) Stephen Hawking "They predicted he would die within two years. " It would be easy to beat him up... But through it all and without the aid of his body to write down mathematical calculations he still ... sort of...perservered... into "the relevant areas" see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/space/spaceguide/hawk ing/index.shtml 3) John Nash - A person of severe mental challenges ... yet he managed to make some non-trivial contributions to the mathematical community.. sort. of.. into "the relevant areas" see: http://nobelprize.org/economics/laureates/1994/nas h-autobio.html These examples show perserverence and how they got into "the relevant areas of (hard) science and mathematics" In conclusion I think that hard work is how women or any body else for that matter CAN get into "the relevant areas of (hard) science and mathematics." If a woman were to post a solution to "Fermat's Last Theorem" like say Wiles did .. then .. well... the mathematical community WOULD HAVE TO LET THEM TEACH AT HARVARD OR YALE OR WHATEVER.. FOR HOW COULD YOU HIDE SUCH AN ACHIEVEMENT? SpawnClown.. see you online in SOCOM2
