Mill is making me worried Forum

I was reading John Stuart Mill for a political philosophy paper and came across this quote in On The Subjection of Women, "To discover general principles, belongs to the speculative faculty: to discern and discriminate the particular cases in which they are and are not applicable, constitutes particular talent: and for this, women have a peculiar aptitude."

After reading this as a male 0L, I couldn't help but be worried about this "peculiar aptitude" in regard to law school. Kind of a reverse sexism flame, but is there any truth to this?

Yeah, the top 20% at every law school is like 75% women. You should probably just not go to law school at all.

I mentioned it was a bit of a joke, maybe should have put in the social forum but thought it could spark maybe some broader discussion on whether sexes have natural talents in one regard or another as applies to law school.

Side note, Mill was all about the social equality so it's not like I'm quoting from the founding fathers or any other sexists like that.

Was trying to make a joke, clearly in poor taste or in the wrong section or just unfunny [check box one, two, or three]

If a mod or admin wants to take the post down that'd be appreciated
