“According to the transcript, Summers does in fact suggest that one reason there are relatively few women in top positions in science may be ‘I ssues of intrinsic aptitude.’ And while he acknowledges that discrimination exists, he generally plays it down as a factor.”

The fact that Summers remained so popular after questioning the intellectual abilities of women is really a pretty harsh indictment of US society as a whole and particularly the elite circles Summers travels in, and Democrats should have kicked him to the curb for that shit.
