> My "dogma" has been that there is no difference between men and women. There definitely is a difference. The question is if any difference in math ability appears as they age. If there is maybe it isn't directly traceable to biology, i. e., a woman can always get a dumb guy to do the math. Bret Cahill

Take two of the same animals. Bathe the brains of each in one hormone or another for 15 years. Do you think that differences might arise due to the effect of these hormones/drugs?

It has long been a result that women had higher Verbal SATs and men had higher Math SATs. In America.
