If women are "equal" to men, then where is the woman...
Einstein?
Mozart?
Michelangelo?
Shakespeare?
Bobby Fisher?
Isaac Newton?
Thomas Jefferson?
Tomas Aquinas?
And on, and on, and on...
Womens' Studies programs locate and identify women of mediocre accomplishment and exalt them as though they were comparable to better-known and dramatically more-accomplished Dead White Men, when in fact this is absurd.
One can suppose that there have been women who COULD HAVE accomplished great things, but were discouraged or prevented from doing so by biology (having children) and/or culture, but it is of no benefit to pretend that the "middling" literature, art, science, and philosophy generated by history's "greatest" women is anything worth studying for its own sake - when there is a mountain of more valuable material produced by Dead White Men.
Maybe in a couple more generations after the advent of reliable birth control, women will actually start to produce material that is comparable to the best available now, but we ain't there yet.
On the other hand, IQ studies have indicated that MEN are over-represented at both tails of the "bell curve." That is to say, there are many more men morons than women, and above an IQ of 140, men outnumber women by approximately 10-1. Good specifics are not yet available because such studies are extremely politically incorrect, and academics do NOT want this fact to be proven or published. Who's going to fund such a study?
So maybe there never will be a woman Mozart or Isaac Newton.
