I’m not sure how this happened, but somewhere along the line the claim that there are no inherent differences between genders became less extreme than the claim that there might be some. You’re not making the former claim, but I see it all the time and it’s just as nuts as saying that 100% of observed difference are due to biology.
- crooked-v 7y agoThe difference in treatment is probably because these days the people who talk loudest about the "some" are often trying to use it as a cover to support gender-essentialist defenses of an unequal status quo, while people who talk about "none" are obviously inaccurate in some ways but are for the most part harmless.
- remarkEon 7y agoWell, I don’t know about you but I like my claims to reflect reality and not some ideal that is touted as “probably wrong but mostly harmless!”
