Alright sure, let's assume for a second that you are correct about the relative lack of interest that you claim is rooted in truth. Even then, the statement in the article does not refer to interest at all, but rather it puts a constraint on ability to comprehend something that is totally unrelated to gender, and that is incredibly damaging. Imagine telling your daughters "it will be hard for you to get math because you're a girl." Or imagine someone telling you "Typing will be really hard for you because you identify as male or have a certain skin color," and consider how much damage such blanket statements can do. Honestly, most things people do in their daily lives are much more complicated that this simple system. I mean, does your wife not use a smartphone or is she unable to figure out how to use a washing machine? The statement in the article, even if it was intended as a joke, is one of plain condescension, and thus quite horrifying indeed.
