Ok. He thinks we should consider the possibility that women naturally suck at science and math to excuse the fact that people like him make it extraordinarily difficult for women scientists to remain in academia. This nearly gets him fired. And now we learn that this comes just a few months after big L proclaimed that Native Americans were "dependent" and may or may not have referred to the demographic collapse written of by the Berkeley school as "coincidental", which is in some ways a half-truth, since it's believed that Europeans in North America on at least one occasion knowingly employed germ warfare to speed the process along. At any rate, if Summers was dismissive and even racist, given his trqack record, would anyone other than Stephen Pinker be surprised?
