Helen Pluckrose added,
I would like people claiming that it was an inappropriate way to make those points to tell me what the appropriate way would have been.
There's not an appropriate way to publicly hand-wave about how science supports something harmful to your peers when science doesn't.
No-one is suggesting doing that. Suggesting presenting the consensus of the behavioural sciences on gender in discussions on gender.
There's not a clear consensus to present, though. There are interesting findings, but we're nowhere near clear statements about causality.
There are clear consensuses on many things and more women being drawn to working with people &more men to working with things is one of them
Obviously, you retain the right to disbelieve the scientists on this but not to shut down, ban, punish, fire, vilify people citing them.
