Okay, but are the variations between men and women greater than the typical variations between individuals of any sex, or even of one sex? If not, then it is sexist to harp on the differences because they don't tell us anything really useful. Personally, I think the subject is much more often used in bad faith than in the spirit of scientific inquiry.
- insickness 7y ago> it is sexist to harp on the differences because they don't tell us anything really useful The people harping on about the differences, or supposed lack there of, are typically people insisting that any statistical difference in representation between men and women, such as the number of CEOs, is due to sexism rather than psychological differences and preferences in life choices.
