I like this comment :

It’s because women don’t like to obsess over abstract concepts the way men do. Men are bent that way, women aren’t. Call it biology.

To say such offends some people, but that’s only because modern society holds scientists in such high esteem. In another age they will say “thank God it’s only men that were so afflicted”.

It’s a useful insanity. Not really healthy.

yeah it figures such blatant pandering towards regressive notions of gender roles would resonate with some people in this website

That's just your culturally-induced scientist-worship talking.

It may be incorrect, but how is it "regressive"? This is a common argumentative tactic: to suggest that one side (your side) is on the side of progress. Can you disprove it?
