Thanks for kindly taking the bait CB. It's very annoying when going to a lot of trouble to taunt and nobody bothers taking it up. I notice that you didn't disagree with my theories which are admittedly simplistic because women of course do a great deal more than delete dodgy male DNA. But you reading maps is tempting me. I have probably asked you previously, but do you rotate the map to the direction you are going? It's not only women who do that; some effeminate men do too. Somehow, I suspect you don't. Years ago you explained the Great Depression fairly well though I forget the details. My impression is that it was a fairly simple matter of big government and politicians getting in on the act seriously messing things up. I'm with Thomas Sowell, an actual economist, on the causes: jewishworldreview.com Big Government is certainly swinging into action to save the day, which will no doubt make things a lot worse. A $trillion or two of "stimulus" spending for example. Regarding my amazing theory of mathematical development according to age of puberty, a corollary is that mathematical competency at age 25 is a function of age at puberty for both males and females. Late puberty males do better at maths than early males. Same for late females compared with early females. But comparing males and females of the same age at puberty will still show a differential for male advantage due to cultural and other biases. Simply teaching maths to early female maturers will not totally avoid the disparity. The whole point of late development is that it allows more time for development foundations over a wider range of cognitive activities. Mqurice

CB, it occurred to me that maybe you were making the mistake of thinking my theory claims ALL females can't read maps. Since you are innumerate, I can see you'd make that common statistical and probabilistic mistake. A woman could be the world champion map reading ace by far, no map rotation required and that would not disprove or falsify my theory. To help you with the numbers game in a way you'll easily understand, men are taller than women. That doesn't mean ALL men are taller than ALL women or even that the tallest person in the world can't be a woman. There are swarms of men who are shorter than most women. That fact is entirely consistent with my theory on map reading. If you replace "tall" with "map reading" you will get the point. You being a 2.3 metre tall world champion map reading woman [even if you could do maths] would not disprove my theory. That's a common mistake. Already a few people have made the comment "But I know a smart woman who can give change at the supermarket and my daughter is pretty good on arithmetic too. And heck, what about Marie Curie?" as though any of that has anything to do with the situation. Being highly logical, and far more so than most males, you should be able to understand that, even without numeracy. Linguists know that teaching people foreign languages after puberty becomes vastly more difficult than before puberty. Once people are into their 20s when they learn a new language, they don't lose their accents even after decades of living in a foreign language. Learning maths is a like learning a language. Best to get the foundations in place before puberty. Mqurice
