I'm not a conservative (far from it), but I think it's a ridiculous misrepresentation.
He spoke to the distribution of preferences and abilities. Turning this into an absolutist simplification should offend anyone with a brain.
The science seems to state that nature rolls the dice more with males than with females. We know, for instance, that there are far more very low IQ males than females, and this is understood as fact. This doesn't mean that you or I are therefore low IQ, despite the distribution increase. And the stats seem to say that nature also varies on the side of high IQ more with males.
That says nothing to whether a given male or female are either low or high, and only applies at scale. Scale that is meaningless when assessing a given candidate, but is certainly pertinent when talking about representation across an entire industry or large organization.
- ebbv 9y agoReally? You think I’m gonna fall for this b.s.? You just tried to cloak the claim that there’s more highly intelligent men in a bunch of nonsense. You’re only proving my point.
- vorotato 9y agoAlso someone doesn't have to be a conservative to be sexist so... In fact many conservatives I know aren't sexist.
- wellboy 9y agoThere are more highly intelligent men than women, because for men, the distribution is higher, look it up.
- ebbv 9y agoWhen you get a result like that you should question the measuring tool. IQ tests are horseshit.
- wellboy 9y agoIt's a very well researched issue https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_intelligence https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_intellige... There are more dumber men and more smarter men than women.
