My view is closer to: IF there is a genetic difference of such chasmic proportions as to forever put math on the male side, THEN there'll inevitably by another math that's more female in its operations, i.e. you'll get a parallel technology, not a imbalanced monopoly. That's just speculation, as we're still considered two halves of the one species (but will that change?). > I have only one female out of three classes I'm teaching this > semester.
