I think you're referring to my comment about women being "wired" for infant care.  Your example above is a huge leap, one that I would never make.  I am not sure how to respond to it except to say that there aren't any reasons, biologically, evolutionarily, or otherwise, why men are 'better-suited' to be doctors, scientists, etc.  There are, however, reasons why a woman is better suited to infant care (she produces the milk, she carried the baby, she has the softer voice and body, which research has shown are preferred by a newborn, etc.).  I mean, if you look at daycare settings (either homes or facilities), I would venture to say that you see women working here almost to the complete exclusion of men.  I am just saying that there is a biological reason for this.  I am not at all saying that women can't do everything else as well -- they can!  That's why women are incredible - we are the best ones for the hardest job there is - plus, we can do all other jobs, too.[/quote]
