The best response to this that I've read, at least in my opinion, was SSC's "Contra Grant On Exaggerated Differences"[0]. The key point is that differences between the genders do exist, though they tend to be differences in interest rather than capability. And even small differences in interest can cascade through the selection effects of our educational systems.

- dqv 9y agoThe article has Professor Grant himself (the guy who is cited in all of these discussions) rebutting what Scott wrote in the blog post. It's well worth the read.
- DuskStar 9y agoWhich article? Not the feature from TC, I'd presume. If there's a good rebuttal to what Scott wrote out there, I'd love to read it! There's Grant's response added by Scott to the comments [0], but I don't think that really qualifies as a rebuttal.

- dqv 9y agoI used poor wording - it's just Grant's response, not a rebuttal. I appreciated that Scott included it.
