    As an assertive woman, I've never been called bossy! 75% of my followers and people who promote my work and ask my opinion are men & I do find them over represented in this argumentative field of politics & secularism. I've never felt my gender to be a hindrance tho.

        Not from the liberals, humanists, egalitarians & secularists anyway. The alt-right will sometimes tell me I should be shutting up & having babies but I'm too fat and ugly and opinionated for anyone to want me. They're easily dismissed tho.

        Do you not think that the fact your views are generally considered as valid as men’s is partly due to (mostly) women in the past challenging the prevailing view that they weren’t? You’re reaping the benefit of their refusal to accept that their inferior status was pure biology.

        Yes. That's what I study, actually. Although the belief that women were inferior was less biology and more God. We still see the residues of this in the denial of gender differences tho. It's well-intentioned but the fear is that if differences exist, women are inferior.

        But innate, whether from God or biology, is the point - and therefore part of the natural order rather than something that can or should be changed (or challenged).

        Women don't have to be changed or challenged and neither do men. I'm sure you mean, as I do, that society needs to accept them as equally useful members of society & stop comparing one negatively with the other. Don't have to pretend we're identical. Pinker:pic.twitter.com/LnvBZh1APz

        As usual, the pendulum has swung and we've gone from biological essentialism to the blank slatism which has been orthodox for about 50 years now. It's high time this was challenged but not by biological essentialism. By the reality of overlapping distributions of traits.
