Men and women really are different. The findings of hard science – in endocrinology, brain structure and function and genetics, for instance – have forced rational feminists to admit that, statistically speaking, men and women have different aptitudes, interests and responses, little though this is yet understood. Such generalisations never apply to an individual, of course, and although – for instance – women are underrepresented at the extremes of intelligence and statistically are less good at higher maths, chess, musical composition and physics, any one woman might be brilliant.
Similarly, while women tend in general to be less aggressive and more conciliatory, there are plenty of ferocious females and Wodehouse aunts, and plenty of men who are shrinking violets – with obvious implications for their working lives.
The point here, and it’s another centrally important fact, which feminists either don’t know or refuse to admit, is that you would not therefore necessarily expect men and women to be equally represented in any particular occupation. The fact that just two out of 25 top maths dons or bond traders or gangmasters are men, say, is not self-evidently due to discrimination against women mathematicians, bond traders or gangers (although it may be). And this underlies an obvious killer fact for the politics of equality: equality of opportunity is not the same thing as equality of outcome.
It is a dangerous mistake doggedly to pursue equality of outcome and equal numbers of men and women in everything. The entire basis of the gender equality movement, equality by numbers, stems from an unquestioned and wrong assumption, taken as fact in defiance of the actual truth.
The tragedy of feminism is that it has been dogged, or perhaps I should say bitched, by a lot of fixed ideas and unquestioned beliefs.

Isn’t that because women can poke you eye out with those nails?
Meow!
LOL!!!! Post of the day.
LOL: :O)
B and D fit me. Big no on A and C.
Only had one as a patient, back in the mid 70's...he to she and she was so proud of her genitals, she wanted every nurse to look..None did unless they had a procedure to do down there..But we all heard from the nurse that had her for a patient that you couldn't tell the difference.
It has been unheard of for centuries suddenly they are all over the place...As Rush once said, he's just a lesbian trapped in a male body...lots of men agree with that.
It seems like people always thought men and women were different until the 60's..Then it all became cultural to the feminists...Idiots..give boys Barbies and girls trucks and cars and we will all be the same...that was the mantra of the 70-80's. Until studies show that the boys would tear off barbies head and use her for a gun bang bang..
:O) my apologies to your wonderful Father in Law...Any man that loves to cook is damn near perfect in my book..
Personally, as an evil misogynist, when looking for a woman I can live without the BLTs. But the no talking back is a must.
The last thing I need when coming home from work is to hear the fairer sex tell me what's on her mind - as if this somehow involves me!
This is why Eastern European women are superior to selfish, "liberated", American women such as yourself - Russian women just clean, cook, and keep quiet.
Just the way God intended.
You are such a nancy, LOL.
Aw, did poor little donna get her/his feelings hurt???
Yeah, you hurt my feelings. Why is everything personal with you? Didn’t your mother teach you better? Or, were you at the babysitter’s where no one cared?
Oh ouch, you are so cruel!!!! Gosh, I think I’m going to cry. sniff sniff.
I kick guys ass ... any questions????
...so what if it was written by a woman, the grammar was bad none the less ... guys get into bar fights over women or some macho BS .....
I love Aussie-speak ... I listen to 4BH.com.au on streaming audio on my home PC ... it’s a station out of Brisbane ...
...and bad grammar none the less .....
Yep ... “more better” is another one ... ever listen to George Carlin about speaking English or read his books?
Feh! Brisbane lads are mostly nancy-boys, the lot of ‘em.
Actually, noooo... Thank My blessings every day, lol!
I was downtown at the Mall one night ... interesting sight.
