In the arts, for example, men have been about as dominant through the ages as they have in the sciences. Only in the last couple of decades has the gender gap in visual art, for example, started to narrow.

From what I read, he was merely reviewing reasons that have been given for the underepresentation of women in the sciences, not saying that he himself suspected that there was a biological basis for the underepresentation.

There is nothing unreasonable or ad hominem about your response; more than anything, I'm shocked to discover that someone is actually reading this thing.<br /><br />You point is well taken, and illustrates the problem with the tenor of the debate at present.
