I'm flabbergasted that there are some people who don't consider this immediately obvious.

- wahern 7y agoThe article author may have setup a strawman. From http://www.feministvoices.com/alice-eagly/ http://www.feministvoices.com/alice-eagly/: > Eagly began working with Wendy Wood to develop an extension of social role theory which they called the biosocial extension: "So that's the effort, to understand that, and not to deny that there would be direct genetic influences on psychological dispositions or [that they could be] hormonally mediated. No doubt there is some [influence], but to bring in another set of causal influences, and then to try to understand how they all work together. So not to be just a nurture psychologist, but a nature-nurture psychologist".
- l0b0 7y agoYeah, just because we want everyone to be created equal doesn't mean that they are. Some people will always be furious when research doesn't match what they believe, but we ignore/suppress/demonize it at our peril. On the other hand it's remarkable how successful recent peaceful societies have been at working around this. I don't think we can easily appreciate just how much of that destructive nature is held in check by social mores.
