are you referring to that particular strip or XKCD in its entirety? If it's the latter then you are clearly mistaken. If it's the former

It's that particular strip I know a lot of girls that kick ass at math therefore I'm not mistaken. I normally enjoy XKCD.

We're going to need more than your anecdotal evidence. PROVE that girls don't suck at math.

I'm tracking down this paper (apparently this Maia Weinstock doesn't know how to cite her sources. I blame the Montessori schools).

Hey! I went to a Montessori school until 6th grade! And then I went to an all girls school. Hmmm...I may have just proved your point bill.

Consider the chromosome Y. Consider the set of reasoning skills in the male brain {ASS}. Y forms a disconnection on {ASS}. This is true by definition and is therefore trivial (i.e. I will not waste my time proving that part). This disconnection obstructs proper brain activity. So boys are worse at math. Therefore girls must be better at math. QED.
