Just recently Mr. Lawrence Summers President of Harvard University has made a comment that has generated controversy between all layers of intellectuals.
On a speech that he was giving for the topic of: Why women aren't better-represented in science and engineering positions at top universities.
He said the following statement: “There are issues of intrinsic aptitude ... I would like nothing better than to be proved wrong.”
He also said that three main reasons that women in general do not do well in Math and Science is the fact that:
1. They would like not to get into top jobs!
2. There are issues of intrinsic aptitude for women towards science.
3. Discrimination of men against women in general.
According to an statistics from American science association in America from every 10 women 1 would pursue Phd.
I heard one of the main reasons is the fact that women have tendency to have a family and spend their time with family.
I think these findings has rested my case in regard of women's family perferance y comes over everything and for men work comes first!
