Isn't that to be expected? Summers had already pissed people off, and now it's time to pile on.
That said, I don't think the answer is necessarily outside possible knowledge. It's possible to design cross-subject and cross-cultural data to try to gain insight as to whether "inate" differences in the way minds work might be an explanation. But I would guess that some people don't want to see such a study, because they have an interest in the continuation of "antidiscrimination" policies.
