No, it's not. People have individual genetics.https://twitter.com/lessdismalsci/status/894636804221132800 …

Also, who on earth is saying observed imbalances are caused *solely* by different genetic traits?

Seems like a sort of 'motte and bailey' ploy. Bailey: No group genetic differences exist. Motte: Imbalances aren't caused solely by them.

I'm saying that the default position that all imbalances are natural isn't defensible. I'm agnostic to what the optimal balance actually is.

But it isn't a 'default position'. It is a position that is argued for according to evidence.

Am I missing something or are you claiming that the imbalances we observe are, in fact natural?

Very many of them seem to be, yes. Men are drawn to psychology way less than women. No sign that discrimination holds them back.

I'm not sure why it makes much difference in terms of whether or not we should treat people as individuals anyway. We should either way.

Of course we should. Even if the differences were much more profound & almost no men interested in psychology, support ones who are.
