Studies show more women have biological reactions to hearing such a statement.
"I felt I was going to be sick," said Nancy Hopkins, a biology professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who listened to part of Summers's speech Friday at a session on the progress of women in academia organized by the National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge, Mass. She walked out in what she described as a physical sense of disgust. "My heart was pounding and my breath was shallow," she said. "I was extremely upset."
In fact, the scientist was so overcome by physical reactions that she was not capable of remaining in the room at Harvard University where this experiment was conducted. Other women similarly reported extreme distress.
But when men were confronted with the same situation, they shrugged and said "yeah".
Currently unversities across the nation are competing to see who can conduct the best experiments on gender differences in an atmosphere of diversity and free-thought. Nancy Hopkins is encouraging her students to bring their ideas to her and measure her reactions.

I can wrap this up in one question: Is it a fact that men and women are biologically different? If so, it's the women's problem if they add tangent meaning to that phrase and become upset by it.

Harvard's president didn't merely say that men and women are biologically different. The response to that is, as my wife would say, "No shit, Sherlock".
What he said was that those biological differences give women a lesser aptitude for math, science, and engineering, as an explanation for their lesser prominence in those fields--as opposed to, say, cultural biases.

Well, that's different. To put it in scientific terms, the guy is a phallus-cranium. Weemie, you're just like FOX News; you give a report without giving any actual information. You suck.

Unlike many male comic book readers, I regularly sleep with women. And I can tell you with the utmost assurance that they they are biologically different than men.

Originally posted by Cisco Bunny: Unlike many male comic book readers, I regularly sleep with women. I DO! I mean, I'm definitely making the rounds, and NOT with other men. I totally have a life and stuff. Just last week I did two girls at the same time. Those sluts BEGGED me for it after I told them about all the property I own down south. I's all like, "Bitches, let me go check my message board, then I'll fuck you some more ... IF YOU'RE LUCKY." Dude, can you give me some tips? I want to score with the females too! K
