Or, you know, the Alien modules are the equivalent of Wikipedia
articles, or someone's college paper, and need to be taken with a
grain of salt.

Males pretty clearly need to be able to do math, if only to calculate
weapon ranges, fields of fire, and figure the odds of an attack
succeeding.

Gender roles may indicate that supply and logistics and math are
"women's work" but unless the males are notably dumber than the
females, they still are capable of doing some math, and they still
*do* math, even if gender roles indiciate they aren't going to sit
down with a calculator/spreadsheet/computer/whatever and do the
calculations themselves.

Aslan wouldn't *hire* a male to do clerical work, or run your
logistics operations, but the males still have to be able to
*understand* it.

If half your grav tanks are down for maintenance, you have to be aware
of that, and the ins and outs of getting them fixed, even if you're
not a mechanic.

Etc.
