[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one of each - boy and girl.  By the time they were 2 or 3, they were well aware of stereotypes.

I appreciate the comments on the lack of good role models for boys.  Look at our current administration and their values and behavior.

While I believe that there are very minor biological differences between the two, it is exacerbated by how we parent.  For instance, boys are born slightly better with spatial skills.  They are given more toys like legos that enhance those skills and play with them more and get more practice.  Over time, the difference snowballs into a significant gap.  While the boys were playing with the legos, the girls were given dolls, so they were practicing their social emotional skills.  Again, over time, the minor biological difference turns into something quite significant when they enter kindergarten.

There are very major biological differences between men and women. This is a scientific fact and much of these differences are innate rather than culture or environment.[/quote]

If it’s biological, why is it not true for some men and why is it not true for some women?[/quote]

Take a remedial statistics course before you ask stupid questions.[/quote]

No thanks I’m a mathematician and was a statistician for a while.

Please name a biological fact that affects boys/girls unless it’s something to do with their penis and vagina it’s not biological.

Neuroscientist here. Stay in your lane, mathematician. The brain gets masculinized during early development if androgens are present. Sexual dimorphisms are less prominent in the human brain than other mammals, but they do exist. [/quote]

No, Miss self proclaimed mathematician needs to get out of that lane, too.  She is as ignorant in that area as she is in yours.[/quote]
