<p>i just can’t imagine men at MIT saying ‘you’re only here because you’re a girl’ to women. unless they’re homosexual or something most would rather have perhaps a slightly weaker woman, but more of them, than same-stat women but a lot less. and also, i can say with full confidence that women are just as smart as men–in any field (and i’m a guy). the reason that there appears to be a lot less math and science oriented women is because of perhaps both slight social stigma and maybe also a slight difference in genetic disposition towards it.</p>
