I think my position on this is the same as
Disinfo Agent's-- I
can agree with that recap in regard to
math aptitude, but I wouldn't necessarily extend it to other areas that were not the focus of the thread and may involve a completely different set of evidential findings. (In other words, if I say I agree with point #3 in some categorical sense, I can guess who might then pipe in to point out that I'm somehow claiming women are no more able to breast-feed than men... you see the problem.)
