The gender gap

This is an interesting and very controversial article about the gender gap in hard sciences. Personally, I feel this article is excessively biased towards suggesting that biological differences account for the gender gap in IT and does not leave enough room for socializing factors. I recall once reading (don't ask me where, I would never be able to confirm it so take this with a grain of salt...) about how boys generally tended to out-perform girls in the hard sciences, except among Asian Americans. This suggests that socializing factors play a major role in our development since society doesn't push most girls to study the hard sciences, except model minority Asian Americans of course. But then again I cannot recall where I read that so there's no reason to believe that this fact is true...
