Nadine, I can tell that you're invested in this so I won't give you an argument about the relative amount of extant albeit unprovided evidence. But in a compare and contrast exercise, one point of contrast doesn't erase the dozen points in common.

Whereas suggestions of a hypothesis of gender difference from a university head, with evidence, whoa, there you have a really serious situation. What evidence? Did some one come up with suggestions of some new science that linked the gene(s) that determine intelligence with the gene that determine sex? I thought we had resolved early 20th century science with respect to human differences. Do we have to go over this again? I thought that enough harm has already been done with that aspect of science and that the scientific community has rejected those suggestions. I mean the Shawn Green(s) are under represented in athletics. There may be all kinds of complex reasons for that that has no bearing on genetics. For what reason would you ever want to suggest or hypothesis about the genetics of that situation? The only reason you would ever bring that up in public if you had any type of responsible job, would be if you were ignorant of the history of that type of science. The Constitution does not protect ignorant people from having important jobs. In other words, you could be fired from important jobs because of ignorance.
