throwerway

Thank you. It's something that I think needs to be said.

One thing, about your point on 'gender deniers', I would try to avoid using the term 'gender'. It's a term perpetuated by the left to avoid direct conversation about biological sex. There has been a concerted effort to separate the concept of gender and sex through justification by the social sciences. This phenomena is not new, historically the social sciences have always been used to justify the predominant ideology of the time.

Gender is considered a 'social construct' under the theory of social constructionism, a philosophical theory not based on statistical evidence. Once you start debating about what is 'Gender', you've already fallen into their trap. I would use the term 'biology deniers' because it avoids people from making roundabout arguments on what is gender.

Edit: New accounts cannot reply so I rewrote my comment

I'm talking about equality in terms of attributes. The distribution of traits in males and the distribution of traits in females, are not equal. So I will not say males and females are equal. They do qualify as equivalent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation

I believe people should be treated as individuals, if you take two distinct persons A and B, I don't believe they are equal. The only person equal to person A is person A. On this vein, you can't say Group A is equal to Group B, unless Group A and B are the same group.

You can apply equivalence relations to groups, which is basically a lower threshold for equality.

:) You get it

Men and woman ARE equal.

I used to believe so, until I discovered there were thousands of studies suggesting that statistically, men and women aren't equal.

Each one of these points is backed up by dozens of statistical studies.

Are there statistical differences between males and females in height? Yes

Are there statistical differences between males and females in athletic ability? Yes

Are there statistical differences between males and females in memory recall? Yes

Are there statistical differences between males and females in visuospatial ability? Yes

Are there statistical differences between males and females in short-term mating strategies? Yes

Are there statistical differences between males and females in long-term mating strategies? Yes

Are there statistical differences between males and females in partner selection? Yes

Are there statistical differences between males and females in partner commitment? Yes

Are there statistical differences between males and females in parental investment? Yes

Are there statistical differences between males and females in life expectancy? Yes

Are there statistical differences between males and females in aggression? Yes

Are there statistical differences between males and females in neuroticism? Yes

Are there statistical differences between males and females in suicide? Yes

Are there statistical differences between males and females in infancy and play? Yes

Are there statistical differences between males and females in wealth inheritance to children? Yes

I could make this list 200 items long, it's crazy how many studies there are out there. There's at least 50 years of research on this topic.

Because evolutionary biology is fundamentally at odds with the core tenets of Feminism.

Feminism is founded on the idea that males and females are equal. Biological research over the past 30 years; specifically from the fields of genetics, behavioral ecology, and evolutionary biology; directly contradicts this premise. Evolutionary biology research tells us there are sex differences in human males and females during all phases of the human lifecycle, including prenatal, childhood, adolescence, mating, parenting, grandparenting, and death. Behavioral ecology tells us we see these same effects in non-human species too. Genetics tells us these traits are heritable and not socially constructed (for example, the correlation between a parent's IQ and their child is around .80, even accounting for adoption).

How does one reconcile evidence from a field of science, that directly contradicts one's own beliefs? To protect one's identity, to avoid the cognitive dissonance, the obvious answer is to discredit the field, discredit the arguments, and discredit the person citing it.

That is why there is a concerted effort by Feminists, and supporters of feminism in the media to squash statistical evidence that goes against their ideology.

It is akin to telling a Christian that God is not real. You will receive a similar response. Heretics must be punished.
