I think Isha said it very well, and I agree.
Reine, I tired the liberal arts/science "test" from that site. An interesting exercise.
I got
"Your data suggest a slight association of Male with Science and Female with Liberal Arts compared to Female with Science and Male with Liberal Arts."
But I think that's because more males just happen to be in science (and STEM in general), and that's a cultural thing due to the fact that girls and women are not typically encouraged to be in science (and all too often, actively discouraged from it, historically and even in this day). I do not believe there is anything about girls and women vs boys and men and their respective abilities that should make that disparity a foregone conclusion. The same can be said for other groups as well (for example, the low percentage of some races in STEM).
We can argue/discuss privilege until the cows come home, but the fact is there is inequality. And my belief (or liberal bias, if you like) is inequality is not good for anyone, even those who think they are above it.
