Only Two Options at Harvard

In its Larry Summers story this morning, the LATimes asks the question:

But what remains unclear after a month of mounting furor is whether Summers, 50, has been left weakened or transformed.

Are those really the only two options: that Summers' back be broken for suggesting that there might be biological differences between men or women, or that he accept the PC position?

Isn't there an option that would call for the Harvard staff to accept reality? That their response says more about sexism and denial than his comment?
