You trying to turn this into an argument about sex and gender is very telling and I shouldn't be surprised. Trying to label scientific facts as "sexist thinking" is just low man and I'm not playing this game with you today.
The science on this subject is well established and not something I feel the need to defend. Study after study after study has shown the differences between the sexes. There are inherent differences in men and women, from birth. The existence of neuroplasticity doesn't negate that fact. Feel free to continue this conversation among yourselves, I'm done.
Ignoring science when it doesn't fit your narrative says nothing about the science itself; it only speaks to your choice to ignore the facts. I'm not going to read the thread any further. Enjoy the last word.
No one's arguing the differences. The debate, which is among experts themselves, is what are these differences due to exactly and whether they are significant. It's not well established that they're immutable differences between the two sexes. We also shouldn't make the mistake of overlooking the vast brain similarities between the sexes by exaggerating the differences.
Classical studies, by the way, used to show that men were intellectually superior to women because of brain size difference, and it was well-established at the time. We know now this is nonsense.
