In light of studies like the one you mention, perhaps Summers wasn't so out of bounds to suggest that biological differences might possibly be one factor explaining disparities in math & science representation between men and women.

I'm not saying they are, or if they are, that they explain the whole disparity, or even part of it. But Summers should be free to float theories that are even now the subject of serious research, without having the PC goon squads jump all over him.

The sad truth is, for someone in Summers' position, it would have been more pragmatic for him to just censor himself.
