      There is a third option between 'I don't like this fact so it can't be a fact' & 'This is a fact so we must state it all the time.'

      In reality, I think most of us know this. Unfortunately, we hear most from the extreme positions & assume they're being taken when not.

      eg, My observation is that most ppl know gender differences in ability on average exist but it's very seldom relevant to point it out.

      The fact that women have better communication skills on average & men better spatial skills less often relevant than what the individual has

      But if you look at the gender wars, u'd think the 2 options were 'no difference exists' & 'a difference exists so women shld stay home.'

          These are both obviously ideologically motivated but we should be able to discuss such things without being suspected of a political agenda.

          I like to talk abt gender differences coz I find them interesting. Also, I don't think you can neglect them when talking abt gender equality

          They're descriptive not prescriptive.Ethically I'm intensely individualistic & socially libertarian so reject any prescription based on them

          It also makes no sense to prescribe what men or women should choose based on nature. What they do choose freely reflects their nature better

          You can tell me I really want to stay home but that feminism tells me I shldn't or that I really want to be an engineer but society says no.

          You'd be wrong on both counts. Like most ppl, I know what I want to do &I just need all opportunities open. That's what's important.They are

          Regardless, I would like to stay home. Never was an option to me like it was (apparently) for my childless exwife when we were married.
