Well, you seem to want to believe women and men are exactly the same, so you go on believing that.
My experience, including my kids experience of various teachers, is that they are not.
Of course it's a "controversial" study - it highlights differences between the sexes. Which isn't "cool" in this politically correct age.
- tptacek 18y agoThat's not an argument; it's just circumstantial ad hominem. I could advance my argument against you the same way by saying you sound awfully threatened by women and gay people. The claim you're citing is surprising not only because it defies conventional wisdom (which it does), but also implies that whole of the American educational system is built on an easily-corrected inefficiency. Why can't you marshall better evidence for your extraordinary claim? Why don't you have a better source than an untenured Swarthmore professor writing in a journal with dubious peer review?
- wensing 18y agoAre you conceding or just ignoring axod's point that men and women are different in more ways than anatomical?
- tptacek 18y agoWhen you or axod give me a relevant significant non-physical way that men and women are different, I'll address it. I chose to address the specific, relevant, wrong point he offered as an alternative.
