There are a number of women who have made solid research contributions in mathematics. http://www.agnesscott.edu/Lriddle/women/alpha.htm

Your line seems to be
well, yes, there may be a difference but it's silly to talk about it so please shut-up. I wonder if you appreciate that the next stage of KenG's co-ideologues after observing 1(c) is typically to demand that
