> This doesn't imply any wrongdoing by men, especially not by specific men. In any instance where women fall short of or fail to perform as well as men external factors even amorphous ones can always be blamed. Since powerful men have been in charge of crating social conditions under which womens' identities have developed. Identity which in this case "tends to have far more doubts about their abilities and accomplishments", like you pointed out. "doesn't imply any wrongdoing by men" is only possible if either of these was true 1.Current society wasn't created/shaped by men in powerful positions. 2. Women are biologically predisposed to have 'far more doubts' I don't think either of those positions is correct. Whats your logic behind stating "doesn't imply any wrongdoing by men".
