Then there's always a headline to get's the outrage meter going. It appears Harvard University President has some 'splaining to do, as Ricky Ricardo would say.

It's unfortunate he used the term "innate differences" - it's so imprecise. I'm not outraged by his words though many others are. I've done enough research in the area of how the brain works to be dangerous. I'm convinced that men and women are wired differently - in general. I would never use that information in the context of that forum. Poor judgment, if you ask me. Maybe he could make up for it by hiring a few more women at Harvard. That wouldn't be so bad, would it?
