I was surprised to see Kara Hadge write a column so obviously sensible that it basically repeats the statements made by Larry Summers at Harvard that led to his being burned at the stake by some extremists.

" Just because a woman can be an astrophysicist, doesn't mean she ought to be one, and just because female art historians are not venturing into male-only territory doesn't mean they should feel guilty about studying Picasso's cubist paintings or Bernini's sublime sculptures."

True. Many women may steer clear of the sciences because they want to. Because their interests are naturally directed towards other areas. This is the heresey that Summers was fired for and it is so obviously true that I am glad to finally see it in the XX Factor.
