The occupational gap is widening in Norway, despite it being the most egalitarian country with regards to the sexes.
So? It's still just following the existing trends. Boys do what they see men doing, and girls do what they see women doing.

Men tend pick careers based on dollars. Women less so. We've got the entirety of human history where a male's chances to pass on genes are tied to his value/usefulness. Some of that is genetic and some of it is social.

There. Engineering gap explained. No amount of funding is going to make piles of women enter into a field where the primary reason for most entrants is dollars.

even If one were to fully accepted your premise it seems flawed, that there are only "small biological differences" why does that automatically preclude that small biological differences can't produce large social differences?

I feel compelled to link this again, the meat of it starts around 5:50 and note that the institution that was defunded was based on "gendertheory"

Do you know how genes work? The man's genes don't only go into the male babies...

Wouldn't we expect to see a society somewhere, either now or at some point in history, where the majority of engineers/construction workers/whatever are/were women?

I find the arguments made by evolutionary psychology far more convincing than that pile of bullshit. On top of that are you aware how badly you really throwing all of the transgender people under the bus with that?

Let's talk briefly about David Reimer for a moment. At 7 months his penis was destroyed during a botched circumcision and his parents took him to Dr. John Money, a gender neutrality proponent. Gender is a result of social learning from early childhood and can be changed.

NOPE.

No amount of hormones or therapy could convince this poor kid he was female. At thirteen he was depressed to the point of suicide when his parents finally told him what was up. Dr. Money had spent the whole time reporting the transition was a success. He would then kill himself later in life.

Good job everyone.

Do you know that men and woman have different evolutionary guided strategies to pass on their genes?
RIDICULOUS

How could anyone find the evolutionary psychology arguments less convincing? I mean, the "socially constructed" hypothesis, as far as I can tell, is pretty much untestable. I don't understand how people place so much certainty in it. It seems like yet another magic wand to be used alongside the "rape culture" and "patriarchy" wands. Just wave the wand and you can explain anything away instantly.

Those wands are fun to wave when you're a proponent of social change and forced social justice/"equality".

The silly text aside this is a picture of a peacock and a peahen.

Males are selected based on their plumage and even subtle differences can be the difference between a successful mating season and no dice. Peacocks don't only pass on their genes to male eggs/chicks but to females as well. Why are females not similarly colored?

BECAUSE THERE ARE GENETIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GENDERS.

I could spend literally the entire day posting pictures of animals that have males and females that are vastly different in size and coloration. Here are some red wing blackbirds. Guess which one is the male.

We act different because we are different.

No matter how much funding we put towards it we can't get the males to change their feathers to brown and the females to change to black with a red stripe. THE SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF GENDER MUST BE STRONGER THAN WE THOUGHT

Did you just underline theory in the same way "evolution is just a theory" or "gravity is just a theory" do?

That is not helping your argument at all.

You're all seriously fucking retarded. You're all living proof of those recent studies that show that a professed belief in science do not actually make one more likely to actually understand science.

Successfully breeding males would still be just as likely to pass on all of those intellectual traits that made them reproductively successful to any female offspring. Fact.

Brains are not peacock feathers. The vast majority of the brain is not sexually dimorphic, the only parts that are significantly so are the old, primitive parts relating specifically to sex. The most recently evolved portions of the brain, the ones that give us all of our fine motor skills and rational, cognitive abilities, are not sexually dimorphic at birth. This is provable by science. Hormone levels do effect some structural changes over time, but hormone levels vary drastically between individuals of the same gender and are influenced by outside forces.

I forget, how do you account for transgendered?

I'm starting to wonder if Mist even knows how evolution works at this point.

edit: To be fair, lots of people don't know how sexual differences evolve. Of course, Mist could read a book on it to educate herself. However, she won't, because she already knows the answer. "Because feels".
