I can't beleive that anyone using the pharase "overall intristic aptitude" is taken seriously. What the hell does that mean ?Three quick proofs that men and women are innately different
1) Embodiment. It is obvious that physical form effects behaviour and ability, otherwise a rat would be able to operate a computer and I, at 1.3M tall could be a world class basketball player. Men and women have different bodies, and therefore different behaviour.
2) Mating strategies. Men and women have different mating strategies, these drive behaviours which go way beyond obvious manifestations of "the mating game".
3) The visual system. (Just one exapmple of the many differences in brain structure and function). There are observed differences in the optic discs of men/women. These affect visual perception, perception affects behaviour and thus ability. There are a only a few cases of documented quadrachromacy in the world and they are all women. Women see colour differently.
What I don't understand is how the PC bridage can maintain such an outmoded 1970s "nurture" theory, when scientific advances are showing them to be little more than wishfull thinking on an almost daily basis.
I'm assuming this American feminist is a baby boomer and will hopefully retire soon (along with all the other lefty boomers) alllowing psychology to re-claim itself from the sociology department and be a proper science again.
