I don't believe everyone is equal but that in academia and most other fields of endeavor they should be given equal opportunity. The fact that there are fewer women academics in fields like mathematics may reflect individual inclination, or discrimination, or ability. No one knows for sure, and Lawrence Summers was force to resign the Harvard presidency when he suggested that the matter ought to be studied scientifically.

- It could very well be a disinclination toward risk-taking, such as the kind inherent in a scientific career that could end up being largely wasted if one pursues theories that ultimately turn out to be fatally flawed. Statistically, women have shown a tendency to be risk averse in other fields, such as finance; often they will put their money into low-risk investments rather than pursuing opportunities for great wealth. That is probably a large part of the reason why there aren't many female captains of industry. Tisane 17:07, 14 July 2010 (EDT)
Be everyone being equal, I meant that everyone is born equal. However, that equality can (and often does) change, through social and economic conditions, and, more importantly, personal initiative. If a woman (or a man, for that matter) doesn't take the effort to become a scientist, that is entirely their fault. However, that doesn't change the fact that recently women have taken a larger role in the scientific field.--Jaddriscoll
