As long as there are attitudes like these, we will have problems with achieving equality... :( (and yes, there are some for both sides, but the facts are that there is a long, long way to go before things are equal in this country, and not enough people seem to want to change that. And that's very sad. The feminist movement seems to be dying out without really achieving its goals...)
Sounds like an excuse someone would use to try to explain away why they don't really want to work towards equality to me... "It's all their fault!"
All people are of course not equal in ability, but they should be equal in opportunity. If that means laws that tilt things towards one side (for race, gender, whatever) then so be it... but until things are actually more equal, doing things that make it more likely whether people want to or not are required.
