The Math Sex Gap Revisited: A Theory of Everyone

The math gap has been closing pretty quickly over the last 20 years..and since human brains are highly adaptable...I don't think there will be much of a "gap" in another 50 years.

But, if you want to cling to a tiny statistical difference in order to feel better about being XY...by all means.

I've heard that standard deviation thing before, and as an XX I'll say that if that's what the science shows, than I'll accept that. I think that sometimes in our quest to have all things equal we cannot forget that men and women are biologically different creatures and subject to different evolutionary pressures over the millenia, therefore expecting to have a 50/50 ratio for everything is just silly. The main goal should be that everyone has an equal chance and is judged on their character and abilities not gender, ethnicity, etc, not that every group is equally represented in all things regardless of their interest or ability.
