The feminist treatment of Harvard president Larry Summers was an outrageous example of how impossible it is to have a rational discussion with modern academic feminists. All educators at the very top levels of science have always understood why the great majority of their best students will be men. It is a simple statistical result of the disparity in their chromosomes. My memory is hazy on the details, but males have fewer of something on their chromosomes or genes as a result of the difference between X and Y whatever it is. I think females have an X and a Y, while men have two X's. Thus females have more possible variations of combinations. A smaller population is more likely to exhibit extremes at both ends of the statistical curve.

Bill Gates noticed that small schools tend to have the highest scoring students, so he used all his influence to cause all schools to be small. Then he noticed that small schools also have the lowest performing students. A small town might have no accidents because of the light traffic, but it only takes a few accidents to drive up the accident rate. So small towns have the lowest and the highest accident rates.

Because men have fewer genes in their gene pool or fewer chromosomes in their chromosome pool or whatever it is, there are more males at the extreme ends of the spectrum. If we limit our examination to individuals within those extremes, the effect is very large. Many more of the most talented scientists will be men, and many more of the people who are especially ill-suited for science will be men.

There are also IQ disparities by race. Differences among individuals are greater than differences among races. The point is that we should work towards equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.

Your real energy expert is Camille Paglia. No person trained in analytical thought who is casually familiar with the current state of climate science could possibly believe the global warming theory. Any educated person who, after examining the evidence, still endorses this theory has to be lying. Al Gore shows ice-core graphs without the labels, claiming that CO2 controls temperature. But the labels show that the rise in CO2 lags behind the rise in temperature, from a few hundred years to over a thousand years in various cycles. Almost every statement in Gore's movie is a lie; but he has been awarded the Nobel Peace prize, an Emmy, and the Oscar for his fraudulent movie, with nary a peep of protest from the so-called scientific community. I can do this all day long with the so-called scientific evidence for global warming.

The only viable large-scale energy sources are hydrocarbons and nuclear power. Restrict those, and you will be the direct cause of more human deaths than Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot combined. But you will have your goal: a strong international government to enact strict socialistic regulations.
