Oh stuff! You got me! I totally forgot when Mr. Science proved it so, thanks!

Wouldn't be the worst thing that's been said in this thread, honestly

Women are biologically inferior to men when it comes to say--lifting weights--and better when it comes to giving birth--obviously. Those are biological distinctions that exist. Are you telling me it's impossible that women struggle more with technical jobs than men due to something biological? For someone who claims to be so liberal, I'd expect you to actually listen to science and not claim loveism when someone suggests that there might be a biological distinction in the tech industry

i guess it's not impossible, but you'd wanna actually provide scientific evidence of this instead of just saying women have inferior brain function for higher-level thinking tasks like programming. i definitely agree with the direction kimon was going, that the differences in traits/interests is much more greatly influenced by well-documented social influences rather than a natural inferiority. not just because i believe in gender equality, but because i legitimately don't believe that's the most viable scientific explanation.
edit note: i haven't read the paper, i'm just continuing the dialogue here. i don't know if this was the actual content so i don't want to come across as debating against what the memo said

this comment is dumb

in case it wasnt clear this is me being exasperated at the idea of someone saying "many many many biological scientists have proven it so" without citing sources (hence "Mr. Science") or even recognizing how loving silly it is to claim that almost the whole biological field (hence "Mr. Science") basically completely agrees on the entire theory of significant loveual dimorphism in men and women's capacities on every axis it's been applied
