Helen Caldicott is an embarrassment.

She's the PETA of physicians.

And you don't think that smearing an entire gender, past, present and future, is worse than insulting a few thousand dead people? Whose career path among the dead has Churchill screwed up?

Summers didn't say, as far as anyone can tell, that men and women "think differently". He said, as far as anyone can tell, that women don't think well enough to do science. He also won't release his actual remarks to be parsed, so we don't know what he actually said. And what's up with that, anyway?

Why don't we just admit it: women have smaller heads, so our brains must be too small for all of that science stuff to fit in there. It makes as much sense.

Smug? Isn't that what you call the other person when you're wrong?
