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

Yes, I wasn't implying anything different. Obvs I am lumbered with a man's brain so struggle to communicate clearly.
