You seem to try to debunk some [imaginary] point about women being somehow 'inferior'. I never said such thing. Women and men are different, that's all I said.

You seem to try to debunk some [imaginary] point about women being somehow 'inferior'. I never said such thing. Women and men are different, that's all I said. I even started by stating that girls outperform boys in school to a very large extent. Boys appear to have their advantage among the tiny narrow peak only, that affects a tiny minority of people.
I've lived in societies that took radically different approaches on this. Whenever I talk about this I'm called 'fascist' or 'marxist' depending where I am. I think that's hilarious to say the least.
Mmm... I don't want to sound arrogant, but have you red the source you linked beyond the abstract? If you follow the links, one of them will take you here:
http://pps.sagepub.com/content/6/2/134.full http://pps.sagepub.com/content/6/2/134.full
and that clearly states that opinions like mine cannot be disregarded, it even acknowledges that such possibilities are less studied.
But there's one important thing to note. If you're a biologist and write a paper where you go through an hypothesis similar to my views, you can still expect an avalanche of cheap offenses.
The link of this thread is called "STFU about what women want". Why is the author so pissed of? Why resourcing to such heavy language right on the title?
Sorry, but if you have a clear solid opinion you don't reply an inoffensive opinion with 'STFU'. If you do so it's because of some other reason. I'd say taboo, or at least she has no strong valid point so she resources to a violent response.
- zasz 15y agoThe authors of the study are good scientists for being open to other possibilities. I salute them for that. But where it comes to what women can and cannot do, there seems to be a great deal of compelling evidence that cultural factors are immensely important, and any statements on whether one gender is really better at running a startup than another is probably premature. The study itself is in favor of cultural factors, rather than ability, playing the larger role in where women end up in life.
