Larry Summers's first insight ...@Pasadena Phil<br /><br />Larry Summers's first insight was provided by his young daughter. He'd bought her some toy trucks to help free her from the bonds of societal gender typecasting. Soon she had the small truck in the bed of the larger one and said, (best paraphrasing by memory here) "Look, Daddy, the Mommy truck is carrying the baby truck."<br /><br />As usual, the academic was the last to realize the obvious. Thank goodness he has kids, or he'd likely have been permanently divorced from reality on this issue.<br /><br />In regards to this and the other thread on IQ, I find liberal academics to be an especially stupid subset of smart people.LukeHandCoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14050153852654024997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-21590884234675618982011-02-11T10:23:46.466-05:002011-02-11T10:23:46.466-05:00This is the very issue that got Larry Summers oust...This is the very issue that got Larry Summers ousted as President of Harvard when he refused to defend his comments when challenged by Harvard's feminist faculty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-6858352807506084822011-02-11T09:30:02.913-05:002011-02-11T09:30:02.913-05:00Our 19-year-old daughter is an engineering major. ...Our 19-year-old daughter is an engineering major. She'd be the first one to tell you that not only is this talk of discrimination a completely imaginary PC hurdle for women, but that universities bend over backwards to enroll female science majors. <br /><br />She was always in the 99th percentile in math testing scores growing up, but, as she says, "Boys are just better at visualizing in math."<br /><br />She's not very interested in politics at this time in her life, but I can tell she'll be a conservative Republican. Last summer during our summer vacation I tried to get her interested in politics by broaching various topics and issues. The one that really got her going was when I talked about Larry Summers being run out of Harvard for daring to utter some verboten things about possible inherent intellectual differences between the sexes. She has no time or patience for PC pieties.LukeHandCoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14050153852654024997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-36994221499167104102011-02-11T09:23:28.246-05:002011-02-11T09:23:28.246-05:00Pretty amazing, huh?
