A study indicates that whether or not a department has a mathematics or a statistics requirement is the most important single determinant of where a woman will attend graduate school to study political science.
This author seems to have a real problem with women. He highlights their categoric "innumeracy" multiple times. Decades later, he will go on to defend the claim that woman might be biologically inept at math. It could be that in the 80s, women didn't want to take math classes because guys like him were primarily teaching and attending them.
