The first one doesn't really mean anything because society is not obligated to provide female professors so they perform better because of biased feelings involving sexes. The writer's conclusion is idiotic.

 

Whether or not society is obligated to do something is not justification for ignoring a study.

The monkey study is just a part of what I linked and it's meant to be in context with the rest. You're ignoring the rest which is alot stronger evidence in showing that women and men have natural preferences that play the biggest role in choosing professions.

On the other hand, you're literally ignoring what women actually say they want.  

Ignoring either the biological components or the cultural components of the problem is incorrect.  They both matter.  

Its real. Women aren't interested in science in the same numbers as men. They aren't into entrepreneurship as men are because they'd rather do a safe and secure job with timely hours. You'll see women talking about themselves as a gender not getting equal oppurtunities but ask them their personal preferences and the differences are visible.
