The Larry Summers Incident
- 2005-01-17 Summers' remarks on women draw fire: "The president of Harvard University, Lawrence H. Summers, sparked an uproar at an academic conference Friday when he said that innate differences between men and women might be one reason fewer women succeed in science and math careers."
- 2005-01-17 Some MAN needs to calculate the rotational velocity of MLK's corpse, immediately! by PZ Myers seems to be a detailed statement of the liberal position on the incident. Myers raises many valid points, but I still don't see how this proves that Summers was wrong to say what he said (which I can't find quoted anywhere, either).
