Don't women pick up concepts faster than men?
I mean, it's pretty clear that women excel at language acquisition over men, and these are just computer languages.
Let's say, ceteris paribus, 10,000 hours for adolescent boys, 8,000 hours for adolescent girls. Supposing this is the case, given the history of computer science, I doubt really any one of us is in a position to define credibility on solely that metric of time spent.
Clearly environment plays a very significant role here, and it goes without saying, given the larger cultural context of the West, that women have been excluded. I mean, Women's Suffrage was, like, a century ago.
I'm just going to assert that I'm quite postive more than half of you are talking jive, and that's not good.

Boys are very often emotionally stunted, as is clear, by the excessive machoism of the West, such that their mentalities are restricted and limited, less prone to exploratory thought compared to linearized, route execution.
- yetanotherphd 13y agoYes the evidence is clear: Girls score better at boys in language, therefore they are biologically advantaged. Girls score worse than boys at math, therefore they are being discriminated against and discouraged by society. You can't argue with evidence.

- thenerdfiles 13y agoI thought I was arguing from environment, and not biology. I thought that was clear when I said "environment plays a significant role here." Does "environment" mean "nature" to you between "nature/nurture"? Granted, I'm making big assumptions, but they don't have anything to do with biology.
