This being Usenet, you may or may not be a guy. But you sure argue like
a garden variety feminist bully.

1. You have brought the subject of rape several times now despite its
lack of relevance to the topic.
2. You refer to mens sexuality as "their bodily functions" which they
cannot control. Lesbians talk that way. I have never heard an actual
man talk that way.
3. You over state the harshness of the argument that you oppose in
order to claim victim status. The Harvard dude did not say that "women
can't do well in science." He was asked to provide some thought
provoking and controversial ideas about the plain fact that even the
most stringent removal of discrimination in many companies and
universities has not given those institutions a flood of talented,
heretofore unfairly blocked women scientist and engineers. He merely
mentioned the possibility that few women have the mental wiring to  be
a world class engineer.
It is true that huge numbers of women are in Medicine in the US,
the UK, and Canada. And in each of those places, despite all the money
needed to buy housekeepeers, baby-sitters, or househusbands, vast
numbers simply retire after 10 years or so. Maybe, if you try, you
could connect this phenomenon to the lack of full time gung-ho female
engineers.
But we have all seen your ilk here before. Every answer to these
questions will be a variation of "Men strong and bad"  "Women helpless
and good."
If you are a guy at all, you are the type who is easily conned.
