IconIn 2005, Lawrence H. Summers resigned as president of Harvard University.  That announcement came a week before a "no confidence" vote by the Harvard faculty was expected.  Why?  The answer is simple:  activist groups in general, and feminist groups in particular, don't accept facts when they oppose their agenda. Dr. Summers discussed human gender differences in an academic conference.  He suggested that innate gender differences between the sexes might explain the few women in science and math.  The response to his factually based comment was akin to the apocalypse!
