Throw in some stubs. Just an outline to get the section started.
In a well known example in 2006, the President Lawrence Summers of Harvard University was forced to recant remarks he had made about the percentage of women in mathematics. Summers had suggested (in a private meeting) that the lopsided proportion might not be due to prejudice or discrimination, but a simply factor such as personal inclination or aptitude. <ref> [http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2005/01/17/summers_remarks_on_women_draw_fire/ Summers' remarks on women draw fire - The Boston Globe] </ref>

==Relivent political ossues==
Denial of gender differences is part of the justification for the [[liberal]] position on issues including:
*[[homosexuality]] - If men and women are equivilent, then man-woman and man-man are likewise equivilent relationships.
*[[Women in combat]]
*[[Education]] - For men and women to ever be educated differently or seperatly would be considered discriminatory.
*Employment - Women who refuse to undergo higher education and establish a career before having a family are considered by [[feminists]] to be victims of male domination.
*Transgenderism - To liberals all genders are one, even to the point that some advocate mixed-gender washrooms and changing rooms.
