just recently the president of Harvard triggered much criticism by arguing for innate biological differences explaining the absence of women in positions of power. Whether a valid use of the reserach or otherwise, it is being used to advance conservative arguments.
Summers didn't "argue for innate biological differences". He gave a list of
possible (not probable) reasons why those holding high positions in science and math are disproportionally male, and innate differences was at the bottom of that list, following various social issues. The purpose of the list was to serve as points to research why women are not filling powerful roles in math/science, in order to improve the situation.
Summers was giving a talk at an educational conference, and was promoting the improvement of the ranks of women in science.
I find it sad that a man apparently cannot hypothetically mention the possibility of innate differences between men and women without being labeled a sexist and accused of "advancing conservative arguments".
