Parts of the world have lived so long w certain societal strictures that we do not know yet how to live w/out them. No paradigm has shifted.

I do not find the memo to be bigoted. Nowhere does it say all women hate STEM, just that statistical patterns exist.

Regrading statistical patterns: this is what Stephen Jay Gould eviscerated in The Bell Curve, you know.

I mean: The Mismeasure of Man. The Bell Curve is the book that applied statistics to support biological determinism.

Again, you're misunderstanding. The memo is not determinist; it doesn't say women are destined to hate STEM, just that *averages* exist.

I'm not talking about STEM. I'm referring to the memo author's professed beliefs.

His use of stats, etc *against* women strikes me as an appeal to an irrelevant authority to maintain a status quo in which he is privileged.

Oh God. Please don't go there. Please. I can't continue this conversation with you right now. I've had this debate too many times. Sorry.

Sorry to react that way. I'm just tired and have been debating people all day. I think if you read the memo carefully, it may surprise you
