I pretty much don't believe in equality anymore. The sad fact is: people have differing degrees of ability and...gasp!...sometimes these correlate with race or sex.
However, it's a crimethink to believe this. Thus, whenever there's a "gap" between groups (whether white vs. black, or man vs. woman), there MUST be some kind of discrimination going on.

The magnitude of the gender gap in patenting raises the concern that, rather than reflecting comparative advantage or differing tastes by gender, the gap reflects gender inequity and an inefficient use of female innovative capacity.
Good grief. It's SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE that men and women are different, with different abilities or desires. Oh no. It's "gender inequity" that causes this.
No doubt "gender inequity" also explains the "gender gap" in, say, Kindergarten teachers or flight attendants.
