I have a full-time job, do database development on the side, and also do the grocery shopping. My wife is mathematically-challenged, so it's much cheaper for me to shop than to send her shopping.

Give her a credit card and every woman on the planet is the same

Actually, my sister is very good in math (runs in the family) and has her degree in it.

I am good at maths (in fact, I am a graduate ingeneer, specialized in topography and land-surveying), and I know a lot of women who are good at it, and in France, most of the math teachers are female...
I've never had any doubt about the skills any woman can have in scientific items.
this is not a matter of brain, or anything else, this is mainly a matter of time, opportunity, and...choice.
If a woman wants to be everything (a good housekeeper, a good wife, a good mother, a good worker...) she has not a lot of time left for leisure (chess, sport, math...), so has to do the right choices.
Usually, the society does not ask men to be a good housekeeper, most of them do not dedicate as much time as their wives do to th education of their children, and certainly would not even think of quiting their jobs to raise them...
When I go to tournaments, it is not rare I am asked if I am married, and where is my husband, what does he do during this time ? what are my children doing ? aren't they missing their mother ? what am I really doing here ? and so on...
I never heard any chessplayer asking another male chessplayer where his wife and children are, and what they are doing while he is playing, and if they do not miss him ????

Well, I do miss my mother more than my father, but then she passed away 8 years before he did...
