What? Are you claiming there is a connection between male roles in society and the development of "applied physics and geometry", that is so clear, one does not even need to make an argument for it? I'm glad you are sparing us the details of the rationalization, but I hardly think you can take it as a given that most people on this thread think male survival is more closely connected to geometry aptitude than is female survival, over the last million years. That's actually the kind of question we invented scientific testing to address. That would be hard in this case, but the claim doesn't even sound plausible on the surface to me.
