And as such, I say no, they are not. That doesn't mean that they can't be better or worse on average in specific objectively measurable ways.
Quote:And what about this ' pointless definition of sexism'?A pointless definition of sexism, which you seem to want to use: that merely acknowledging any systematic statistical differences between men and women should be considered sexist.
Quote:You think it's sexist to say men are smarter than women but not sexist to say women are weaker than men? Double standard or just indoctrination?Subtlety, pool, subtlety. In what sense are you talking about "men" and "women" as a group when you know that there is so much statistical variation. Throwing out ill-defined words will not do here. What does smart mean, what does weaker/stronger mean. If you don't specify these things, your speech has little real meaning.
1. Then you're not a sexist.
2. Sexism is not I'll defined. Think men are better than women? Think women are better than men? You're sexist.
3. Think women are weaker than men in some aspects? You're sexist.
As for a definition of smart, I can't provide it, no one in the world can provide it. There are disagreements even with iq tests as they are demonstrably unable to evaluate creativity or imagination.
