Darwinism tells us that females are likely to be worse than males at 
certain activities, and better than males at other activities, in 
particular and especially, at creating life.  See Darwin's lengthy 
discussion of sexual selection and male/female differences in "The 
Descent of Man"

This is likely to explain the observed underperformance of females at a 
wide range of activities.  We should no more expect a significant number 
of females in a group selected for exceptional ability in fields that 
involve logic and maths, than a significant number of females in a group 
selected for running fast.

Indeed, if a group selected for running fast had any females at all in 
it, the heavy hand of political correctness would be obvious, and we 
would expect the females in the group to lag conspicuously behind.

There are plenty of women that can run faster than me, but there are no 
women running athletes than can run as fast as a male running athlete.

Since group differences exist, if we select people to perform some 
difficult task, then, if we are highly selective, if the task is hard, 
some groups will be massively overrepresented among those so selected, 
and some groups massively underrepresented, or, quite often, entirely 
absent.

Women should be content that they are clearly superior at the most 
important job that there is.

Who discovered radon?

The discovery of radon happened at roughly the same time as the 
discovery of radium, and was far more important, because radon revealed 
that radioactivity involved elements decaying from one element into 
another, the transformation of the elements.

The fact that you know who discovered radium, but do not know who 
discovered the other hundred odd elements without looking them up, 
should tell you Marie Curie was not famous for being a scientist, but 
famous for being a *woman* scientist, received her Nobel for doing 
science while female, much as a dancing bear is not famous for dancing 
well, but because it can dance at all.

Indeed Marie Curie did not discover radium.  She was the most junior 
person on the three person team that discovered radium, though the 
course of action that led to the discovery was her idea.  You not only 
don't remember who discovered radon, you do not remember the other two 
people on the team that discovered radium.

If women were equal on average to men in stem fields, you would have a 
more impressive poster girl than Marie Curie.
