Hmmm does gender play the same role here? I love how embarrassed the scientist gets over this. (studying it and talking about it are vastly different things)

Second cell suggestion for rewording: "The trouble is we haven't made any progress in two weeks."

Ditto on the second cell suggestion.

His reaction is natural enough, for a geek/high-end whatever-he-does. Probably not super comfortable with the ladies even of his own species.

I would image the role of the sexes were at least at the beginning of their evolutionary emergence quite similar. Someone needs to watch the kids, and someone needs to hunt/gather. That probably broke down on strength and aptitude in aggregate. Centuries or millennia of development in a futuristic society could have altered the cultural roles and expectations by fiddling with the fundamental elements that justify the arrangements as they stood.

Or in other words... we need more information.

TRIVIA
There's no way to communicate faster than light. If you want to send your message to another solar system, your best bet is to use a courier spaceship. It can take even a month for it to finally reach the destination, but it still beats sending it as a transmission and expecting it to arrive decades or thousands of years later.
