I dispute that the difference in interest, if it exists, is biological. There are so many societal factors that come into play here from early age, and they all influence the outcome. It's an unfair world from the start.

how can you say that you dont think interest exists but if it does then its definitely not biological?

  I didn't say that. The "if it exists" I wrote came from "women may be biologically" from the parent. I'm disputing the statement that it's biological. The burden of proof is on whoever is making that claim. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_education#Hidden_curriculum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_education#H... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_education#Consequences_of_sex_discrimination_in_education https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_education#C...

    why else would you write "if it exists" if you already knew a difference existed? you would just say that you dont believe its biological in that case, so it seems like youre trying to go backwards and deny your own words here

  Supposing there's a 1955 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe in the middle of Antartica, which most likely there isn't, it didn't fall there from space. I have no particular stakes on this discussion besides this one, I just dropped by to say this: I don't see any problem with the construction of that statement. At least as an informal or "folk" logic argument.

    ok so the question still stands, you dont think theres a car in antartica, but if there is you know it didnt come from space how do you know either things and why does the first mean the other is not possible? also your example is using "from space" which is obviously fictional compared to "biological" which there is plenty of evidence for

Please note that I'm taking this position (or any other) myself. I'm merely trying to clarify what I think Damore's memo said. While I think it's entirely fair to say he's wrong, I think it's deeply unfair to mischaracterize what he wrote as so many have done.
