@fringeelements Only because the people then would be fighting every step of the way.

I hate that quote. Extraordinary claims to not require extraordinary evidence, and what is extraordinary depends on one's opinion on what is ordinary. For example, the earth revolving around the sun is not extraordinary to me, and so I need very little evidence for it. But to people in the 1800s, that would be an extraordinary claim, and require much evidence.

A more appropriate question would be:
"Is it possible that men and women have the same innate abilities for math?"
And the answer would be technically yes, but practically no. There is no reason to assume equal innate capacity between the genders. The brains are physically different. Certainly one is going to be better at math than the other. What a colossal coincidence it would be that they would end up being the same.

Men possess greater scientific cerebral ability. Despite quotas for women in college and university and the workplace, men still outnumber women. Women are successful at manipulation type fields ie: psychology, lawyer, sales, judge, politics you get the idea. Men are successful at raw science ie: physics, electrical engineering, medical science, economics, you know, the things that really matter and take real brains. Ooops! I forgot, I can't say things like that... sorry.
