Great to hear from more women.
Here's another from an evolutionary scientist who gives a point-by-point response to Damore, using quotes from his text as a launching point for discussion [1]
She mentions that Damore brings up IQ,
"the Left tends to deny science concerning biological differences between people (e.g., IQ and sex differences)"
IQ has no relevance to a discussion on gender gaps, so, why mention it?
The quote's context is politics. In that context, IQ has recently been used in discussions over racial differences [2].
It begs the question, is Damore being honest about his views on race? If we replace "IQ" with "race", would that change the meaning he meant to convey?
