"Women are stupider than men eh? Maybe that is why a majorityh of law school graduates are now women. Maybe that is why women score higher than men on tests, including, although I am not sure, even in math."
Go ahead take offense, then when you calm down consider the facts and their effrct(s).
Fact: In about 1972The standards for admission to medical school WERE LOWERED because woman weren't making it in the numbers the leftist 'religious fanatics' felt that they should.
The effect, according to a thoracic surgeon writing in the NYPost a few years ago, is that males, who ARE IN FACT DIFFERENT FROM FEMALES in aggression and intelligence tended to go elsewhere to find the challenges that medicine no longer provided.
The result being that there are more and more avarage doctors who tended to become pediatricians and OBGYNs and FEWER of the sort of Doctor whose intelligence drive and skill (not to mention aggression)pushed back the frontiers of medicine as well as honeing the level of skill NECCESSARY to do the extremly difficult sorts of surgery that saves lives (Thoracic being one of them, he wrote that there were four--brain..etcetra).
The surgeons point was that when raw meritocracy dies males (forced by their unique nature)bail and find something else to do--something that challenges them, something that will allow them to find their own level among their peers.
The fact is that standards in ALL of the areas you cite were LONG AGO dumbed down to lift the female. As long ago as the late 19th century woman became doctors. These woman were ranked according to their marks in a meritocracy but the number was smalL and, to the chargrin of the leftist fanatics REMAINED SMALL DESPITE ALL ENCOURAGMENTS.
It's perfectly ok to describe woman as unique in many ways and uniquely talented in certain way but heaven forfend if there is anything unique about the idiot, despised male.
Males are the ones who are moved to climb a mountain 'because it is there'. They'll cross a barrier like the Bering strait because they DON'T know what is on the other side of it--they will look at the moon and find a way to it. Woman can imitate this sort of behavior but they can't ORIGINATE it. Which is why as columnist Maggie Gallagher (sp?) pointed out not long ago: "When woman enter a field that field loses prestige." THAT is a reflection of a VERY BIG DIFFRENCE between males and females. Like it or not.
I went to a very prestigious and selective law school, admitted in 1974. At that time, woman made up about 20% of the class, and were about as distinguished intellectually as the men, and about as represented on Law Review. I really saw no substantive difference.
I would add, that it is American men who defend the freedoms that make all the those opportunities possible for American women. Without those men, all other arguments are moot.
