    No. Your claim 'Women are less competent than men' is not supported by evidence. Reality show that men have greater competencies on average in some areas like spatial awareness &women in some like verbal acuity but there will be so much overlap, it says nothing abt any individual https://twitter.com/realTomHa/status/993203102391160833 …

        This is a misunderstandign of statistics. It says something- though nothing very important- about individuals at the very tail ends of these distributions. Knowing only that they fall within the 99th percentile of human spatial awareness, I could guessa person is male.

        Replying to @HPluckrose

        After all our evolution and modern erudition, so many still seem to struggle with understanding what it means to speak of inter vs intra group differences, what rationally does and does not follow. From the left this gets you SJWs, from the right tiki torch wielding autists.

        Replying to @HPluckrose

        Yeah! And I have both spatial awareness and verbal acuity in spades and actual GIS training, and still got mansplained about how to use Google Maps. (When the only reason to do so is traffic anticipation.)

        That's true. That said, it's also important which of those traits are more widely used in employment. If spatial is more used/more compensated than verbal, the statement "more competent" could be correct in that sense.
