Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.  (Whew! Sorry about that!
Had to get it out of my system!)

Culture is NOT a reflection of something "fundimental" [sic] in human
nature.  If it was, then culture would have remained stagnant since
human nature arose.  We would have the same culture today as we did
50, 100, 200, or 2000 years ago if culture came from a "fundimental"
nature.

Human nature has not changed significantly in many years...this is
why Shakespeare still has relevancy in today's world.  On the other
hand, _culture_ has gone AAAAALLLLLL over the place, with accelerating
changes as you approach the modern day.  (In fact, it might be interesting
to find out whether culture change is geometrically or exponentially
increasing....hmmmm...)

In other words, the original posters contention (which I stupidly deleted)
that it is culture that "keeps women from math" (not a direct quote),
and not some inherent, "fundimental" cause that you postulate.
