Could you point us to any evidence that supports your assumption that there are "sexual differences in mathematical abilities"?
Luce Irigaray? (Amply butcherd by Sokal and Bricmont, or see e.g. http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Luce_Irigaray) This is as dumb as post-modern feminism can get, of course, but there you are. One observation I've made is that out of my informatics courses, the one on universal algebra was the most gender equal. This corresponds well to the observation that math has a larger female component than computer science. You'd have thought that Haskell, being so mathsy, would appeal to women, but this list must be one of the most gender *in*equal, I've no idea why (and I can't say I much care). -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
