In the past few days I've been told no less that twenty times what (supposedly) he was trying to assert. Everyone keeps telling me, because I'm so passionately pro-science and also female, and I tend to fly off the handle in a rage sometimes about certain things (get me started on human exploration of the solar system and you'll get an earful), but really, I didn't care when I first heard it and I don't care now. Even if he did mean it in an anti-feminist way (which he didn't), why should it matter to me? He isn't the one who determines how good I am in science and mathematics, and rightly so, I'm the only one who determines that. A person can assert the earth is flat but it doesn't make it true. And besides, I'm wasn't planning on Harvard anyway.
