Luckily, yes, because otherwise they’d be always asking the men for help with trivial questions and using up the men’s valuable time and resources which could otherwise be spent towards tackling the really hard math problems which the women could never hope to understand. This is a very lucky thing indeed, that most women don’t like math. Think of how little progress humanity would have made, otherwise.

Well, we tend to think our personalities would end up the same no matter what sex we were. Fundamental parts, yes, but then there’s the age old question of how much we are based on who we intrinsically are (that wasn’t very well phrased) and how much is based on how we’re treated, as well as the images of others like us we see out there in the world. Let’s say you were interested in math, but as a girl, how much discouragement would you get from pursuing a career in math or taking advanced math classes? Maybe not that much nowadays, but in the past you would have. But then if you were headstrong enough, it wouldn’t matter.
