For example men are not very fertile

Why do you think a gender that can fill it's reproductive role every couple of hours from puberty until death is less fertile than a gender that can only reproduce for a fixed number of times over a limited timeframe?

I'm sorry my mistake. I was meaning in the sense that men are unable to produce an embryo or carry it to term.
SteveDeFacto has got BINGO like 15 times in this thread. Not that he would understand what that means.
Also there is no data that says that girls are biologically not interested in science and math. In fact I can cite just as much anecdotal evidence as Steve for girls who wish it was "allowed" for them to do STEM things.
I hate to be this 101 but I suspect Steve thinks that ice cream causes rape.

@Steve: I want to know why you target women so much in these ideas of yours. mellow.png You don't think men are, like, superior or anything do you? sad.png


No, women are good at what they have evolved to do. For example men are not very fertile nor do they have sufficient mammary gland to feed a child.

The world, according to SteveDeFacto:
Men: science, engineering, smart people
Women: Make babies, stay and home and cook

Honestly I'm surprised he hasn't yet tried to claim that women also major in less useful fields and shouldn't get scholarships to support their bad choices in education. The guy's a scumbag.

Your inability to understand what I am trying to communicate has lead you to make rash assumptions about my character. I do not think this type of prejudice should be encouraged or should continue. What I am saying is that this type of thinking has influenced human evolution.
Steve you need to understand something very simple -- Your level of reasoning and skill with logic does not make you Galileo, rather it establishes you as the church. It doesn't matter that you have been pointed out to be in error on a multitude of areas, your persistance in your "right" and our "wrong" is a product of fanatical belief rather than reasoned thought. I sincerely hope that you learn someday to the betterment of yourself.

I am not right based off belief. I am right based on knowledge. If you had bothered read the studies I have presented I have no doubt you will think as I do.

I'm not sure that conclusions at this point can be considered rash given the frequency and consistency of your posts.

As others have mentioned, nobody is disagreeing with you that gender leanings in math skills exist in modern society. Few I suspect would disagree that there is a possible biological cause. Everyone disagrees that there's some sure-fire, proven or even clear-cut correlation between biological gender differences and math skills.

Short of conducting a series of very specific experiments to exclude other contributors to mathematical skill, there is no way to prove your premise. To continue arguing it makes you look like someone who is either completely oblivious of this (despite attempts to say as such) or that you have a discriminatory bias that you're looking to justify.
And that, I think, is a good place to end this.
