The assertion that there are innate differences? Of course. They're flooded with different hormones from birth. Throughout life, the genders will experience vastly different hormones. Their development process is different from very early one. It's not drastically different, but it's a key different very early on. Males and females then go on to have notable differences in physical prowess like strength, coordination, and in other areas like chemically-motivated aggression, etc. We know there are differences. We've chipped away at it for decades, and no one in science disagrees. The problem is that the obvious differences that are manifested are all macro physical, we don't know how the differences extend to the mental area. But then, in these kinds of arguments we don't really even know what we mean by "mental" because, technically, it's all physical. (At least, the part science cares about.) Some people think that it doesn't extend to "mental". Some do. Considering the basic fact that our mental states are very obviously modified chemically, and that males and females get different chemical influences throughout life, I can't think anything but we have to leave that possibility open that there are consistent developmental differences. This is not one of those situations where it's probably most accurate to assume there is no difference until one is proven. Also, stonemetal posted a link elsewhere in this comment thread. No one wanted to reply to that, they just wanted to post "are you sure?" in this thread. And I can't help but wonder if this is supposed to be satire, considering above I posted: > Every time someone mentions that they think there's a difference between males and females, someone pushes up their glasses and asks "source?", as if the 6th layer of comments on a news aggregater is the place to rehash decades of complicated studies and biology.
