here is some evdience to argue that it is not society but biology random thoughts Send a noteboard - 13/01/2011 08:43:43 PM
Here is a study that shows significantly different spatial skills already appearing in infants. It doesn’t offer an explanation for why there is a difference but offers evidence that is hard to argue with short expanding the sampling size to rule out errors.

We shouldn't ignore evidence just because we don't like the implications. We also shouldn’t over read it, I wouldn’t discourage my daughter from being an engineer.

It's not just that choice though. Sareitha Sedai - 11/01/2011 07:12:48 PM 1140 Views
It feels more hypocritical coming from feminists than "traditionalists". *NM* Rebekah - 11/01/2011 07:17:24 PM 594 Views

My commentary on the whys and wherefores of this stuff would be way too politically incorrect SilverWarder - 11/01/2011 07:56:24 PM 1096 Views
I think all of that makes sense random thoughts - 11/01/2011 08:36:39 PM 1023 Views

how much time the experts spend being wrong doesn't make them less wrong random thoughts - 12/01/2011 03:16:10 PM 945 Views

your right it is just a coincidence that their results always matches their politics random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:56:03 PM 1003 Views
There's definitely such a thing as a self fulfilling prophecy. Joel - 12/01/2011 07:00:23 PM 959 Views

What evidence I'm aware of seems inconclusive. Joel - 12/01/2011 06:46:50 PM 874 Views
There are theories but of course they are unprovable random thoughts - 12/01/2011 10:50:08 PM 964 Views
That's a logical rationale, and might even be accurate, but in this case I want hard evidence. Joel - 13/01/2011 09:03:32 PM 875 Views

You can use anything to prove what you want if you are willing to spin it hard enough random thoughts - 14/01/2011 02:57:29 PM 1139 Views
