Are Men More Rational than Women?

[MyDoorsAreOpen]

beamers, I find it interesting that you're firmly convinced that gender-associated behavior is inborn, but can't accept a birth defect or other genetic or prenatal effect that would change the sexing of the brain, all or in parts. It's possible that these variations, these not-quite-exact matches between sex and gender, may have played very helpful roles in communities past. They just as likely still do, in a lot of places.

If somebody's born missing an arm, they don't deserve to get hated for that. Same goes for somebody whose personality says one thing, and private parts another.

I also don't see genderqueer people as all that similar to people who think they're animals. Thank you Southpark, for teaching our society to think of these two things as similar.

Who said anything about hating them for it?

If the person born with one arm attempted to live as a person with two arms... well...

Also, generalisations regarding gender exist even if exceptions to the rule exist. When someone says "men are more rational than woman", I doubt they actually mean "every single man on the face of this earth is more rational than every single woman." It doesn't take a man to understand that.

I would never argue that innate/biological gender differences are non-existent. But i would claim that at the very least the vast majority of gender differences are immensely exaggerated extrapolations of these minor differences through socialization. And many of these extrapolations have no reality, beyond a social one, to them.

I find gender has no effect on being a bigot, naive, ignorant, irrational or obstinate.

Hormones & vitamins certainly affect ur attitude.
