        My partisan bias is to Occam's razor. Socialization/environment are sufficient & already proven, so additional biological theory unnecessarypic.twitter.com/CAQIfl8BoU

        No. Socialization/environment cannot be ruled out. Biology can (except for trivial differences like reproduction)

        "have a biological basis" is vague enough as to be meaningless. The observed data show differences vary between cultures and over time. End.

        Imagine humans did not have two biological sexes... Where would the cultural/sociological difference come from?

        Pointless thought experiment. We do have two sexes, and for historical reasons those have been associated with different cultural roles

        The penis is nothing but a social construct made of blood and muscle tissue etc.

        i had always assumed any increased variability would be tied to getting 2% less genetic redundancy. has this theory been proposed/disproven?pic.twitter.com/qvgxtyO27Y

        Pinker and his MRA supporters are DESPERATE to prove female inferiority.

        Let's try to remove all biases in our decisions which are consequences of sexism. But please dont suggest no difference between genders.

        Great summary, though I find the colouring a bit misleading at times. For at least half of the red print, I see no contradiction in the memo
