Capital D?
The Globe's resident Angry Black Man, Derrik Z. Jackson, is all angry-like that some white dude had the audacity to suggest that maybe women don't show up in science as much partly because, you know, women and men are different. Yeah. Okay.
Summers's defenders at his speech said that after he mentioned innate differences, he immediately added, "I'd like to be proven wrong" on innate differences. He should just say he was plain wrong.
Why? Because he offended you? Wouldn't you rather he be proven wrong rather than saying "Okay, I was wrong, because what I said was touchy!"? That's some good scientific reasoning. Maybe he's just trying to break the gender boundries by being a male who sucks at science.
