Nature isn’t egalitarian and matters as much, if not more, than nurture. There will always be hierarchy - some groups aren’t just “not fully equal” to others or better at math vs reading on the SAT, they’re in fact very unequal and this achievement gap cannot be closed.
I suspect a lot of why the hard sciences are being “decolonized” is that blacks, injuns, etc. mostly wouldn’t be represented in them except as diversity hires who are given tenure to shout woke slogans and do middle school social studies-level research.
Also women can do just fine on standardized tests and as spreadsheet jockeys at some office job, but they are poorly suited to a masculine career-driven life and male expectations emotionally. It isn’t their higher purpose - their purpose is as wives and mothers and they are happiest in these roles (and by much evidence unhappy in the workplace).
