No, what’s racist or sexist is to suggest that a genetic difference in trait distributions, observable only at the population level, has ANY application to observations about individuals or the laws that govern them. #EcologicalFallacyhttps://twitter.com/EPoe187/status/1092350710681866240 …

Are you about to show me the distribution of grip strength chart? Because I do love me a good grip strength chart. This isn't an argument over men's tennis vs. women's tennis, and it's sophistry to act like it is. That pretense is what gets me riled up.

People in the social science use the vocabulary & methods of science (first & foremost statistics, p-values, d-values, whatever-values) often for unscientific inferences. Statistics is kinematics not dynamics. Data science is empirical but experiments are not well controlled.

That is where inference in the social sciences quickly turns into opining, with a hefty partisan polarization. Your question has no general answer. Methodological/control issues may dwarf statistical considerations.
