1. Handing out prizes based on gender is sexist.

Don't tell me the Nobel prize for science should be given to someone based on their sex.

The Scandinavian nations study proved that males and females choose different fields to study and this directly correlates in general with the scientific differences between men and women.

Math and economics typically men since their brain usually works ddifferent to women,

Not sure why this fact is controversial, doesn't make one better than the other

When did we stop celebrating differences?
2. Finally!I was already afraid that this year no Jews won...

Esther is from the tribe - interesting detail though - which isnt mentioned in the article, is thats she's married to the co-winner of the Nobel prize, Abhijit Banerjee.... As for the 3rd winner, Michel Kremer, his name sounds pretty Jewish, though not yet found any evidence of this after a quick google search...
