Obviously, one sex is, on the average, better skilled for mathematics.  That is,
if you could average out the women and men and compare the two results, one
would almost certainly differ from the other with regard to math ability.  Big
deal.  The difference is so small that it is completely negligible compared
to differences among individuals.  If everyone would just keep that in mind,
we wouldn't have muddle through this whole discussion.
