You Don't Say?

Larry Summers is in big trouble because he said this:

The president of Harvard University, Lawrence H. Summers, sparked an uproar at an academic conference Friday when he said that innate differences between men and women might be one reason fewer women succeed in science and math careers. Summers also questioned how much of a role discrimination plays in the dearth of female professors in science and engineering at elite universities.

What? Differences between men and women? I don't believe it? I'm sure this will bring Summers down, but it shouldn't. Many will call this sexist; I call it common sense.
