Why shouldn't one want the statement: 'women are better at maths than men on average' to be true? Note, don't confuse the above statement with the statement: 'men are worse then [this fixed level] at maths on average'.
The sentence you quote doesn't make a statement about whether one should want it to be true. It makes a statement about "wanting it to be true" being independent from 'being true".
