Cognitive differences between sexes
In the fifth point of Other examples I have removed the sentence: "This difference does not appear to be a biological scientific reality", because, on the contrary, the cognitive differences between sexes are established in scientific literature. Of course, the differences are more on spacial, memory, and verbal thinking, than Science and Communication, but just saying that the is "no scientific reality" is wrong, unless one elaborate better. Further, I have removed "Also, boys and girls at very young ages have similar levels of interest in science", unless somebody can show some statistics. Regarding the last sentence: "Published material by women academics is less frequently cited than comparable publications by male academics", I have left it, but I do not know what has to do with the topic. Papers are cited if they are useful, there is nothing to earn in not citing a paper written by a woman. Sometimes, due to uncommon names, one cites a paper without even understanding the sex of the author. In conclusion, that women are cited less than men, it seems more an argument in favor that they write less useful scientific papers. This would require a further analysis.
