Pull Pin, Toss Grenade ...
Larry Summers hypothesizes that innate differerences between men and women may be partly responsible for the relatively small number of women in math and science. Kerfuffle ensues.
On one hand it's fun to see libs hoist on their petards. On the other hand, it seems to me that instead of getting huffy and walking out--as one person did--that the proper response is to have a reasoned discussion about the merits (or lack thereof) of Summers's innate differences hypothesis. (Note that Summers also posited two other hypotheses--ATSRTWT.)
PS: This is post number 500 on DOL and the fun's just getting started!
