science supports the fact that there are sex differences in the brain.
... does not propose [that] men are better suited to X activity or job.
If two things are different (any things not just brains), surely there will be some cases when one works better than another?
- szemet 8y agoIt may be likely - but it is not a logical necessity: there can be large structural differences between functionally equivalent things (artificial, engineered example: like a C64 computer and a C64 emulator)
- threeseed 8y agoBeing suited to a job is a combination of hundreds of factors e.g. experience, temperament, social skills, personality type. And those factors do not necessarily correlate with gender. So ignoring all of those factors and just focusing on gender is illogical. Especially given that men/women are not all uniform and exhibit wildly different personality and behavioural traits.
- claytongulick 8y agoIt really depends on the job, doesn't it? If the job is, for example, a dock worker physically lifting heavy crates / boxes all day, is it unreasonable to expect there to be a gender bias in hiring for that position? How about a bouncer at a bar?
