Women Ain't Naturally Smart

So says Harvard's President, Lawrence Summers. At the National Bureau of Economic Research conference on Jan. 14th, Summers made insulting comments regarding women's innate abilities in science and math -- suggesting that the lack of their natural smarts may be what prevents some of them from achieving a successful career in science and math, not discrimination. In support of his argument that women are just plain dumb, Summers used his own dumb daughter (he didn't mention which one), who as a child named her two trucks "daddy truck" and "baby truck" -- just as if they were dolls. His parenting philosophy continued in his tenure as Harvard's president, where each year during his presidency, the number of senior job offers to women has dropped.

Goes to show you -- dumb daddies make dumb presidents.
