There is actually nothing to support your PC 'everyone is equal' statements. There is substantial science developed through the years to support gender differences, some cultural, some suspected of being genetic.

It just became real unpopular to do, speak of or fund any of this research because of bigots like you.

Science should speak for itself.

I agree with you. Science should speak for itself. Also, I do not believe everyone is equal. Lots and lots of people are innately superior to me wrt mathematics.

Where I differ with you is in what is real and what is bogus - and that bogus research should not be funded.

As a very extreme example: should we fund a study or even give attention to find out if Aryans are superior to Jews (at whatever)? or, are lighter skinned kids innately superior to darker skinned kids with respect to mathematics? (do you get the drift?)

I don't think we should. If we disagree on this point, then I don't think it would be useful to go on with this discussion.

Even if we agree on this point, we still differ widely as to where we draw the line as to where legitimate research begins and bogus stuff ends.

At least we have a beginning.

If you want to discuss what we consider legitimate and what is bogus, we can do so on a very cordial basis.
