Didn't say you did. Your assertion that it's all bullshit is what I am addressing. Your assertion that girls and boys are not presented with different pressures and opportunities with regard to career and social issues.

In the civilised world, I do think it's bullshit. I don't even live in that much of a civilised country, by european standarts, and yet my experience says otherwise. That's why we don't rely on personal experience to derive conclusions, but on facts. You should know that, as a scientist. I shouldn't be the one to dispel myths you hold about this thing. Bring me some solid data as to how women are treated worse than men and then we'll talk about it. Until then, you're merely asking for some sort of pity.
