Yes, females mostly lack emotional maturity. Thank you for demonstrating the obvious. But males mostly don't. You preposterously claim that they do, and it is outright wrong.

A minute percentage of abnormal cases will exist in any natural corpus. That doesn't mean it's generalizable to the entire category, or even worthy of any attention at all. For you…

No, it doesn't. Teenage boys are bullied physically, not emotionally -- and you can't ignore physical damage the way you can trivially ignore some mean words.

"Many" is a weasel word, and informationally useless. How many of us, and what percentage of us, are the relevant questions.

You keep playing dumb. It's not working for you. It won't ever work for you. The hypothesis is that the exhibited feeling of incompetence is because men are better than women on av…

Yeah, no. Ask a vet suffering from PTSD.

> because they are less competent than men, on average. Not necessarily in comparison to the specific researcher they're talking to. On average. Reading comprehension is a great sk…

The obvious hypothesis is that women sound less competent when talking to men because they are less competent than men, on average. They don't sound less competent when talking to …

Yes, and the researchers aren't even considering the possibility that these women sound incompetent when talking to men, because they actually, comparatively, are. They discount th…

Programming is abstract reasoning. Apart from some syntax memorization, there's nothing more to it. Even design patterns are optional, and can be independently discovered.

So you can't deliver on your claim at all. You can't show any individual program for men, because there is no individual program for men. You lose by default. Thanks for your time.…

You're not going to do well in computer programming unless you can reason abstractly.

> When female scientists talked to other female scientists, they sounded perfectly competent. But when they talked to male colleagues, Mehl and Schmader found that they sounded les…

Show me these magical affirmative action programs targeting straight white men.

This study is about stereotypes, not interest, not merit, not anything that's actually relevant. You know what shows interest? A female willingly taking and passing CS courses. Not…

You do need individual programs for men as a valid counterpart for individual programs for women. Where are they?

Sure. West Africans are very successful in all forms of running, for example. Are you going to deny this?

No, it isn't. You can't dictate interest.

Show me these magical affirmative action programs targeting straight white men.

None of us here got recruited into the field, and we still found out that it engaged us, didn't we?

The field isn't hidden. It's already exposed to males and females in equivalent amounts.

Men absolutely dominate in the 120+ IQ range, and high IQ is very strongly correlated with abstract reasoning.

Or, you know, leave everyone to their own devices, and let people choose the fields that engage them. Males and females are not equal, in metabolism, strength, ability, or anything…

Cooking and meal-planning, obviously.

Are you on a paleo-and-wino diet?
