The math difference may be caused by different abilities to perceive
spatial relationships.  I could think of several reasons for such an
ability to be related to sexual differences especially if humans have
hunter-gatherer ancestry.

By the way, if one believes Kuhn, science does not progress by building on
current paradigms but rather by overthrowing them.  Lack of evidence is
hardly a reason not to pursue research in a given area especially if
funding is available.
