In modern society we forget that math is a language, just like spoken language, because it is taught with an emphasis on the physical. Women are better at learning languages than men so why should they be worse at math? The answer is because men's struggle to grasp abstract concepts like language and emotion and their firm nature boxed math into the visual/auditory dimension instead of an abstract/spiritual dimension.

You must rethink how you think about math fundamentally. This video and paper are like poetry - short but demanding. Watch this video and read the paper. Really think about it in your own way, don't try to force your mind into an unnatural construction.

What do you mean, that men can't grasp "emotion?" Taken at face value I really resent that conclusion.

I said struggle. I meant that to mean a challenge that can be overcome.
