The fact is, when it comes to maths, yes they are (relatively speaking). So we end up having to invite the one female stats expert in the country and a second no-name female one, and suck it because zomg equality.
This is what pisses me off, insisting on equality where a clear difference exists. I feel like saying to these women 'You know what, you're right. Equal opportunites. So, men have been fighting all the wars for thousands of years now. We need to make that right, so in the next few wars, you go and get your fucking heads blown off.'
