OK, all I can get from this post is, Aaron can't read (but he can look at pictures!) All due respect to Summers and what he may or may not have been trying to do, but what he did was say, maybe you couldn't really get that many more women in the hard sciences because maybe due to natural reasons having to do either with aptitude or lifestyle preference, women chose not to go into them, and so we maybe shouldn't shoot for full gender equity among (say) science faculty. And the left pushed back at him for questioning the orthodoxy of the idea that women should make up lots more of the faculty in top-flight hard science departments.
Aaron seems to've gotten it backward, and is taking the extreme left position. Which of course he'll entirely go the other way on as soon as he realizes it. Aaron's not smart enough to have an ideology but he wants to toe the line anyway...
I mean, leave aside the usual display of misogyny. You just gotta wonder how functionally illiterate a guy is who fundamentally got wrong something over which so much ink (and electrons) was spilled. Doesn't keep him from commenting on it though! And that, that is the Clarey leitmotif.
